Pater nostrum does not exist in Latin, because pater is nominative, and nostrum accusative. What exists is patrem nostrum, the accusative of pater noster. Examples.
- Pater noster nos amat → "Our father loves us".
- (Nos) patrem nostrum amamus → "We love our father".

Hello,
Yes, there are no articles in Latin, so you can translate by "a" or "the". The context (when in longer texts than the sentences here) is what helps you chose one or the other.
