Th egood news is that the steering box normally will respond to adjustment even if the car has over 300,00 miles on it. The only trick is that to tighten it you have to turn the adjuster anticlockwise.

It sounds like your worn front end parts are allowing a lot of toe out causing wear on the inside of the tires. It could simply be tie rod ends which are pretty inexpensive to replace. After replacement of them though you'll need an alignment.
