Yes, there are stars between galaxies. When there are collisions or interactions between galaxies, stars can be ripped out of the galaxies. These stars will then wander into space between galaxies.

Do stars form into galaxies?

Galaxies are vast collections of stars. So I guess you could say that a big group of stars forms a galaxy. Our galaxy has many big clusters of stars within it, so not all star clusters are galaxies. If you have a cluster of several million or billion (or trillion) stars surrounded by a lot of empty space, that is probably a galaxy.
