As you said Ashur is the name of the second son of Shem, son of Noah. It is from him that Assyrians descend. It is also the name of the country Assyria in both Hebrew and Aramaic.
Asher in Hebrew is an ambiguous pronoun. It can mean "that, which, who". It normally is the subject of the predicate that follows it. See the following link for how the word is used.
