It's a passive infinitive form - a little unusual.

Thank you a lot.

I can understand all the sentences besides this "children are to be seen and not heard"

and can we add the word "where" in the sentence like this
Here was the last (where) ever to be seen of knights and ladies fair, of Master and of Slave.

No, that doesn't work.

This was the last of them. There's really no place here to stick "where."

This was the last ever to be seen of them
