-"As" in this sentence means "while" or "at the same time as". -"They" includes Fern and her mother. -"Were" is the past tense of the verb "to be". To make it easier to understand, you can paraphrase it as: Fern said "where's Papa going with that ax?" while she and her mother were setting the table for breakfast.
