A few remarks on your code :
- You don't need to use Module if you won't use local variables. You can use
constructions like (expr;expr) or CompoundExpression ;
- The return value of the print function is Null, the output of a Print
statement is a side effect. So, in your Module, the side effects of the Print
statement won't be sent as a return value of the module ;
- In your plot function, you call theticks with no input values : you don't
give a mechanism that takes the values of the plotting range to the tick
function.

theTicks[min_, max_] := 
  With[{r = Range[min, max, Pi/4], f = NumberForm[N at #, {3, 2}] &},
Transpose[{r, f /@ r}]
]

myPlot[min_, max_] := 
  Plot[Sin[x], {x, min, max}, Ticks -> {theTicks[min, max], Automatic}]
