Answer:

TO AND FRO

In the example you cite, to and fro is essentially identical in meaning to back and forth. The lambs frolicked to and fro on the grassy hill. ... As in the example given about the sheep, I would further suggest (and I have not looked it up) that 'to' means 'near' or 'close' and 'fro' means 'far' or 'away/yonder'.

BACK AND FORTH

It, in essence, means that the subject is moving from one thing to another. Back and forth implies movement in a more polarized direction - something that would not be proper having "here and there" replaced with it: Quite unlike to and fro.
