How do I issue HGET/GET command for Redis Database via Node.js?

This is how you should do it:

client.hset("users:123", "name", "Jack");
// returns the complete hash
client.hgetall("users:123", function (err, obj) {
   console.dir(obj);
});

// OR

// just returns the name of the hash
client.hget("users:123", "name", function (err, obj) {
   console.dir(obj);
});

Also make sure you understand the concept of callbacks and closures in JavaScript as well as the asynchronous nature of node.js. As you can see, you pass a function (callback or closure) to hget. This function gets called as soon as the redis client has retrieved the result from the server. The first argument will be an error object if an error occurred, otherwise the first argument will be null. The second argument will hold the results.
