What is 'here'?

"Here" is a non-specific place, usually only known as a specific place because someone must be "here" (in that location) for "here" to be "here". If nobody was "here", they'd be "there". If you aren't "here" and I'm not "here", we'd both be at a "there", even if "there" was not the same place.

Examples:

"Are you here?" (At least you are "here" to be asking a question about "here".)

"Yes, I'm here." (Now, two of us know we are "here", wherever "here" is.)

"Is Joey here, too?" (If so, three of us would be "here", wherever "here" is.)

"No, Joey isn't here. He went over there." (Oops, only two of us are actually "here".)

"Where is 'there'?" (Wonder what the answer is?)

"Well, 'there' isn't here!" (I saw that coming! Did you?)

"When will he come back here, from there?" (Good use of "here" and "there", though we still have no idea where Joey is over "there" or wherever "here" is in this conversation!)

"He'll be here when he gets here! As soon as he gets tired of being over there!" (Ooooh, this person is being really helpful, huh?)

"Fine! Then, I'll just wait right here until Joey gets back from there, then we will all be here!" (Smart guy! He knows his heres and theres!)

"If you want him that badly, go over there and get him!!" (Boy, she's irritable!)

"Well, I would go get Joey if I knew where "there" is!" (Doesn't he know not to try to reason with someone who isn't reasonable?)

"Well, he isn't here!!" (Told you! Can't reason with an unreasonable person. She wins. And we still don't know the exact locations for "here" or for "there".)
everyone who you don't know!

Is Here's why a sentence?

I am not a grammar expert so this is a personal opinion. I think it is a sentence. Consider "Here's Tom" or "Here's the bus". They are sentences. Tom is here; the bus is here. Here's why means 'why is here', or 'this [here] is the reason [why]. It is not a particularly good sentence mind you, but it is a sentence.
