If I'm running to north and as I'm running, I'm shooting a beam of light toward west, will the light go completely west, or it will have some degree toward north too?

Light doesn't follow classical properties. If you are shooting the light west, it will go completely west.

Yeah, if you were throwing a ball instead of shooting a beam of light then you would have to calculate the resultant, which would be some combination of North and West.
