Yes. They're is a contraction of "they are." There is an adverb used particularly to refer to place. Their is the third person plural possessive pronoun.

Yes and incorrect usage sticks out painfully while reading. Despite that, I still use them incorrectly at times when I'm writing. My fingers just get ahead of my brain, the wrong word comes out, and I don't always notice it.

Yes. Occasionally my fingers are faster than my brain, but I probably use them correctly 99% of the time.

They're is they are, condensed. There is a place. Their is what belongs to them. Easy.
