So, the {Su'IH. 'ej Suwoch je} is grammatically correct, but the {je} can't
be used in this way to say "you are beautiful, and you (the same group) are
also tall", without a reference/comparison being made to another group,
which is also tall. Right ?

What do you mean by "wrong"? It's grammatically correct. It just
doesn't mean what you want it to mean.

Here's a context in which that sentence makes sense.
To group A: {SumoH 'ej Suwoch} "Y'all are ugly. Y'all are tall."
To group B: {Su'IH 'ej Suwoch je} "Y'all are beautiful. Y'all are tall
too." That is, "Y'all (in addition to people in group A) are tall".
