Are the following conversation making sense and natural?

Peter: Mary, I hear our manager will be arranging the staff relocation. Did you know that?
Mary: Yes. It's true. Tom will be moving to other store. And our plan hasn't been confirmed until further notice.

It doesn't make sense, no. See possible corrections, above.

Are they ok OK/okay now?
 
Why do you use "yet" to replace my original sentence "until further notice" ?

I think it is OK and the meaning is same.

"Until further notice" begs the question of "notice by who". "Yet is simpler.
 
"Until further notice" means "starting now and continuing until an unspecified date". For example, "Staff are banned from using the cafeteria until further notice".
In your piece, it appears that it has already been decided that Tom will be moving to a different store but the new locations for the rest of the staff haven't yet been decided/announced.
