Ok, when do I use "su" vs "sus" in "her house"?

If what is being possessed is plural you use "sus".

Would it also be possible to say "Mi madre va hacia su casa"? It was marked wrong for me.

I've seen in other mini-forum of DL and some explained you need the 'a' between the verb and object or whatsoever, I can't remember. The point is there's always 'a' and 'a' only, I guess

Not sure about that...but the further I go it seems like TO ME "ir a" is going somewhere specific, while "ir hacia" is going towards a direction. So I guess it is "Mi madre va hacia frente a su casa."

Why ''va'' and not ''vas''?

"vas" is second person conjugation(you). http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/ir#conjugation
