The word “with” comes from Old English. From Old English wiþ, which originally meant "against" or "opposite" — its meaning shifted over time in Middle English to mean "together with," replacing the older word "mid.".

“With” is a very common word in modern English, usually learned at around the A1 level.

"With" names the tool or instrument someone uses: "she cut the rope with a knife." "By" names the doer in passive sentences ("the rope was cut by Sarah") or a general method or means: "travel by train", "pay by card."

Yes. Ending a sentence with a preposition such as "with" is grammatically acceptable and often the most natural phrasing: "She needed someone to travel with." The old prohibition is a style superstition rather than a rule of English grammar.

No. A phrase added by "with" (or "along with", "together with") does not change subject-verb agreement: "The teacher, with her students, is planting a garden." To make a genuinely plural subject, join the nouns with "and": "The teacher and her students are planting a garden."

You "agree with" a person, opinion, or statement: "I agree with you." You "agree to" a plan, proposal, or request, meaning you consent to it: "they agreed to the terms." "Agree on" is used for a matter people settle together: "we agreed on a date."
