1. Grammatically, the important thing is that идти has no prefix and is imperfective. Зайти has a prefix and is perfective (its imperfective pair is заходить).
2. Talking about the meaning, идти represents a kind of movement in general with no specification. Зайти means to come over for a short period of time and then usually continue your way to the main destination.
Example:
- Ты идёшь в супермаркет? Are you going to a supermarket?
- Да. Yes
- Зайди по дороге в аптеку и купи аспирин. Come over to the pharmacy on your way and buy some aspirin.
