Right.

To me that means that the running takes place on a train heading
south, or something like that. I don't think "mo'i" should be used
just to indicate that one of the arguments of the bridi is in
movement. I don't see much use for "mo'i" really.

Not sure what you mean. If you mean "this faces that" ("this is
oriented towards that", "this is directed towards that") then "ti se
farna ta".
