In all instances, "it" connotes what comes after, e.g., in the first sentence "it" means that we appear to be lost.

You could substitute, "The situation seems to be that...." in all of the sentences.

The situation seems to be that we are lost.

The situation seems to be that Kara will be in more episodes.

The situation seems to be that he loves Jenna.
