What geologic structure would you find at a transform fault boundary?

At a transform fault boundary, you would find a strike-slip fault. This type of fault is characterized by horizontal motion where two tectonic plates slide past each other. Earthquakes are commonly associated with transform fault boundaries due to the friction caused by the plates' movement.

What fault is it where rocks on either side of the fault move sideways past each other?

It is a transform fault where rocks on either side of the fault move sideways past each other. This motion is caused by shearing forces that result in horizontal displacement along the fault line. Examples of transform faults include the San Andreas Fault in California.
