So "runt" means more like "going around in circles" and "runt i" means "going around to cover more space"?

'drives' is kör in Swedish, but åker here only implies that he is using some kind of transportation. He isn't necessarily even going by car, he might be taking trains and buses.
To me it does not necessarily, but I'm not a native English speaker, so it may have to do with translating 'through' back to Dutch 'door'. The latter definitely can mean going from place to place like a travelling circus :-) . But recap: all over the place = runt i ; straight through = igenom. Am I right?
