同学你好
1) thereby ＋ －ing （现在分词）引导短语，作结果状语，前面句子表示原因，后面的分词短语表示是结果。
2) and连接不定式，后面的to要不要加需要看情况：
■当两个带 to 不定式由 and 或 or 连接时，第二个不定式符号常可省略。例如：

I intend to call on him and discuss this question again.

Christina hardly knew whether to laugh or cry.

She asked me to telephone or wire to her on Monday.

■若两个并列的‍带不定式有对比含义，第二个不定式符号便不能省略。例如：

To be or not to be, that is the question. 存在还是毁灭，是个要考虑的问题。

I haven't decided to go home or to stay at school this summer .

■不用并列连词的情况下，第二个不定式符号也不能省略。例如：

Please go to the seaside to swim, to get suntanned.

He likes to stay with the peasants, to work in the fields with them.

■当三个或三个以上带不定式构成排比结构时，所有的不定式符号均须保留。例如：

Read not to contradict or confute; nor to believe and take for granted; not to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.
