How Do NASA and other organisations make sure they are at the right spot to pick them up and that the astronauts don’t land in some war zone or remote hard to reach area?

When you fall straight down, you land right below where you started.
When you fall with some sideways movement you will land further away, depending on where you began to fall and in which direction you were moving and your speed.
After doing lots of science over the centuries, people figured out how to calculate those values.
