Odin and Thor is two famous Norse gods.
Asgard.
There were two races of gods in Norse mythology: Aesir and Vanir. They went to war at one point: the Aesir won and most of the Vanir were killed, although a few "switched sides" and joined the Aesir pantheon, such as Freyr and Freya.
It was the Pantheon.
Norse and Greek/Roman mythologies are completely different. Two vastly different cultures, different beliefs, different Gods altogether. So, there is no Norse name for Hermes. The Norse Pantheon does, however, have a "messenger of the Gods" just like Hermes. His name is Hermod the nimble. He is a demigod. His areas of responsibility are Luck, Physical Fitness, Communication, Chaos, and travel. Oddly enough, He also is responsible for escorting the souls of the dead to the underworld (Hel). So, to recap, He is NOT Hermes, but his name is similar and he has a number of similar duties. He is NOT a god, he is a demigod (implying he was, at one time, human). He IS the messenger of the Gods. His symbol is a winged scroll. He was the one the Norse Gods sent to Hel to barter for the release of Balder the brave when he died at the hands of Loki's treachery (hit by a piece of mistletoe, and all that).
The Norse.
Odin was the chief of the gods of the Norse pantheon (also called Wodin, or Wotan)
Asgard was the home of the Norse gods worshipped by the Viking warriors. Vikings believed in a pantheon of gods that lived in Asgard and influenced their lives and battles.
Norse gods were broken in to Aesir or Vaenir.
Depends on which pantheon of gods you are referring to. See link for the gods and their relations.
