How would I jump to the end of the brackets if my cursor was at the *. Usually I would just arrow key right 4 times or use my mouse to select the next line. I see others on youtube doing this easily.

The magics you're seeing in the linked video are features of Emmet. For example there's Emmet: Go to matching pair, which you can bind to something convenient using the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog (Ctrl-k Ctrl-s). Try Ctrl-Shift-p to bring up the command pallete and then type Emmet to see all of the available commands. I would suggest taking some time to read the docs and discover what functionality is available to you.

What looks like jumping to the outside of the end tag in the video is really just jumping to the end of the line, which is bound by default to the End key. Also useful is word jumping (Ctrl RightArrow/Ctrl LeftArrow) and word selection (Ctrl Shift RightArrow/Ctrl Shift LeftArrow). You might take a look at this wiki article for a fairly comprehensive list of common shortcuts.
