How to read this two sentence?

First question: "We answer lots of different types of general English questions here". I want to know the use of the "here". Is it a attrib. of the "questions" or the whole sentence?

Second question: "Creatures that scare the socks off us-- Bjorn Carey". I don't know how to translate it and which is the subject and predicate and object.

Any help would be appreciated.

To scare the socks off somebody means to frighten them. 'Creature' is the subject, 'scare the socks off' is the predicate, 'us' is the object. Here has its literal meaning in the context -- in the forum is what it refers to, probably.
