Welcome to chordbook  bac_atm, look in the 'chord finder' section here and you will easily find the G#m7 chord....the F#/A# just means F# chord with an A# note. I don't know the fingering just off but someone might....have fun here !

F#/A# = an F# chord with A# in the bass note:

E|---+-o-+---+---+ F(R)
B|---+-o-+---+---+ C#(5)
G|---+---+-o-+---+ A#(3)
D|---+---+---+-o-+ <---not played
A|---+---+---+-o-+ <---not played
E|---+-o-+---+---+ <---not played

G#m7

E|---+---+---+-o-+ G(R)
B|---+---+---+-o-+ D#(5)
G|---+---+---+-o-+ B(m3)
D|---+---+---+-o-+ F#(dominant 7th)
A|---+---+---+---+ <---not played
E|---+---+---+-o-+ G(R) <---probably not played

...and the DEVIL said: "...yes, but it's a DRY heat!"

When using chords of that type (F#/A#) do you always substitute the new low note for the low root or could you keep the low root also and is it always a 3rd that is substituted?

..."Yes," with Nashville 'slash' Notation (ie: X/Y), the X represents the triad chord and the Y represents the note you're supposed to play in the bass position (also called 'inversion' in music theory).
