The inner tie rod is a steering component. There is an inner tie rod and an outer tie rod. The inner tie rod connects to the steering rack which is what is used to turn your wheels left or right. The outer tie rod connects to the inner tie rod and also to the steering knuckle. It is a vital part of your vehicles steering system.

Costs vary from location and depending on make and model of vehicle. Parts and labor at a repair shop usually cost around $400 for BOTH left and right sides. If you are only having one side done I would imagine it will cost half the price, although having both replaced would be wise, as the other side will soon fail if you are having issues with one.
