It depends on the figurative (or literal) distance of the object (relative to yourself and the listener).
こ - close to yourself, basically corresponding to "this"
そ - further from yourself, basically corresponding to "that"
あ - even further away, more along the lines of "that over there"
ど - questioning, stuff like "which", "how" or "what" (depending on context/what comes after ど)
As for the difference between, say, これ and この:
これ can exist on it's own. You can for example say これは大変！(this is bad/trouble!)
この needs to be connected to something else, eg この本はつまらないな (this book is boring eh)

Son como "éste/a, ése/a, aquello/a", "este/a, ese/a, aquello/a" en español. También tenemos ここ、そこ、あそこ para "aquí, ahí, allí". (¿Acaso "aquí, acá, allá"? No estoy muy segura.)
