hin and her are words that are used in many other situations. her indicates approaching to a certain location (typically location of the speaker), while hin indicates moving away from a certain location (typically location of the speaker).

fährst is 3rd person singular of fahren. Here we can see that the verb changes "a" into "ä". Some verbs have irregular conjugations.
