My first guitar string snapped and it launched a small circular pin somewhere. I looked up how to restring guitar strings and other peoples stringboard look different than how mine is set up. the pins I have aren't long and straight they are small circular things fitted into a small hole in the wood. What are these kinds of pins called? Can I upgrade to standard guitar pins?

You don't have any pins in that picture. That's just the ball-end of the string itself. You can just feed the new string in up to the ball-end, no other parts needed.
