I am British.
I say "vall-ay"
I say "fill-it"
I say "fill-ay mignon", but in this case I (think I) spell it 'filet'. So as far as I'm concerned it's a separate word, although cognate>>>>>
Unsurprisingly, as a Brit living in Sydney, Australia, I entirely concur.
What about "herbs"? I seem to remember a board where we discussed whether the h is aspirated or not. I assume that it comes down to the same USn/Can. v the rest divide??
