Grammar
'I saw her to the door and led her out'
The protagonist is to stay at the farm house of his distant relative Vinta today.
"Take this room," she said, opening a darkwood door; and I noded as I entered and looked about.
.........
So I returned her smile, reach out and squeezed her arm, said, "Thank you," and stepped away. "I guess I'll see about that bath now."
I saw her to the door and led her out.
["Trumps of Doom" of The Great Book of Amber by Roger Zelazny]
I'd like to know if"go" is omitted before "to."
And I'd like to know if "it" is omitted before "led."
Thank you in advance for your help.

No in both cases.
"see someone to ~" means to lead or accompany them to that place, e.g. as a courtesy.
In the second question, what do think "it" would refer to? In any case, the subject of "led" is "I".
