"Whither" is a different word from "wither" which means to fade or go away. "Whither" means "to where". "O mistress mine, whither do you wander?" means the same as "O mistress mine, where do you wander to?" Since it is about destination, it is a little different from "where": the answer to "where do you walk?" could be "on the street", but the answer to "whither do you walk?" must be something like "to my house"
