I never thought about it

Is there a preferred direction for spinning around the sun? I thought it was random

There is. The planets formed from the same rotating disc of matter. They all orbit counter-clockwise when you look from "north"

There are two major evolutionary ways in the universe.

Clockwise rotatory ways named as 1-3-1 way is shown on the image http://brahmanedu.org/english/materials/images/21_3_1_1.jpg and counter clockwise rotatory way named as 1-4-1 way is shown in the image http://brahmanedu.org/english/materials/images/21_3_1_2.jpg..

But shouldn't the gravitational locking should spin it the way around the sun turns ?

We were born just right to witness the discovery of an alien monolith placed in our solar system to kickstart humanities development into a space faring race.

The Sun slows the rotation of the planets, don't confuse rotation(spin) with orbit(circling the Sun), and eventually they will all become tidally locked.

How would such a thing exists and us not knowing about it?

Or how "just" outside are you trying to say?

I just calculated it. That star is approximately 10 times dimmer than our sun. So in order to see it just as bright as the sun, it would have to be 100 times closer. But instead it's more than 1000 times further away. Therefore, it would be ~320 times dimmer than our sun. To put that in perspective it's still brighter than the full moon, but at that distance from the sun it's tangential speed would be incredible. It would be like trying to take a picture of lightning without knowing where the storm is.
