Is "bizim" necessary or optional?Because "evimiz" already suggests that the house is ours doesnt it?
Here it is optional and it is in most cases :)

When i'm listening i still wonder that orada is just pronounced as "orda", etc. Is there a relatively good rule for that? I mean the pronounciation.

Most people just drop the second vowels in "burada, şurada, orada, nerede"; and the third vowels in "yukarıda, aşağıda, içeride, dışarıda, ileride."
I personally don't drop them, but I'm a minority.
Conclusion: It's up to you.

There are a few other cases of shorter pronunciation, e.g.: Ne haber> naber dakika>dakka

How do you know it is 'our house is there', not 'there is our house'?

I'm confused about the meaning of "there is" as "it exists" ( = var) and "it is in this location". My translation said "There is our house" and I thought of "There is" as "var" like if someone would said "Well, there is/exists our house, and there is/exists my stepfathers house, I spend time in both". But if you translate it as "Our house is there" it gets obvious that it is about a location. My head still gets messed up about this...

Can anyone please clarify the difference between "orada" and "şurada" for me, as they both seem to be meaning "there" (as opposed to "burada" meaning "here") :)
I think if you're being technical 'orada' means 'over there' (which is also accepted as an answer) while 'şurada' distinctly means 'there', but they're basically the same.
