Well there is one difference, 'framåt' is always a direction, but 'fram' can also mean 'the front part' of something, e.g. the front seats of a car

forward = framåt. Your phrase "Vi åker fram" means to me that you are sitting in the front seat of a car, which is not what "forward" means.

There's no such construction in Swedish. We use the simple present vi åker both for we go and we are going in English.
