Imod also means "toward", right? Isn't that the exact opposite thing?

It means both. It is context-based.
At være imod noget = To be against something
At gå imod noget = To walk towards something

Okay, so "Han går imod os", "Han løber imod os" & "Han kører imod os", we would just assume that "imod" means towards rather than against. Tak!

"Towards" is a direction, whereas "against" is a moral or physical position, so yes, it's all about the context (as in your examples) that make them mean "towards"
