This is an idiom which shares a similar meaning with "to be headed to", meaning "to be going to". It is used in the conversation by Kimberley, when she asks "where are you off to then?". Example: "Where are you off to, wearing so much make-up?".
To "be going somewhere" shares a similar meaning with "to be headed to", and is the standard way of expressing this idea. Example: "I'm going to the disco this evening, and plan to dance for three hours without stopping".
This idiom is another way of expressing "to be headed to", meaning "to be going to". Note that this expression can also be followed by "towards" or "into". Note that the expression can also be used in a figurative sense. Example: "You're heading for trouble if you continue to insult people all the time".
This is incorrect. The verb "to direct" means "to give directions (to someone)" or to "tell (someone) how to get to a certain place". This is not the same meaning as "to be headed to".
