"each other" and "one another" are alternate ways of saying the same thing. 'each other' is more common when only two people are involved; 'one another' is more common when more people are involved. However, either can be used in either case without any loss of meaning.

"Each other" is used when there are two people doing something.
Ex : I and Peter usually remind each other to do homework.
" One another" is used when there are more than 2 people.
Ex: In class, If someone knows has problems, please ask one another for help.
But the limit is not clear, we can use both in every cases in the modern English.
"Themselves" mean "by them".

Another - refers to only 1 single person or thing, meanwhile other(possibly others) refers to more than just one person or thing.
E.g.: The others are approaching. / They were like any other couple.
We are going to have another baby. Parents say one thing and do another.
