Could a native american explain it to me?

How do u interpret the "get"?
-get somebody to win,see something
-get to win,see something

Is there a difference between "take him to the bank "and" get him to the bank" ?

Take him to the bank, means that you yourself are taking him, perhaps in your car. " First, American should be capitalized, and this could easily be confused with Native-American which is a label used to refer to the indigenous people of North America. What you want is a native-speaker of American English.
