💬 [Siéntate] is the informal command for one person. With many common verbs, the command is basically the [tú] form without the final [s]: [te sientas] → [siéntate], [tomas] → [toma].
🇲🇽 Use this only with someone you're already speaking to casually. With a stranger, it can sound too direct; something softer like offering the seat is more natural.

GRAH-syahs
Thank you.
Me caíste muy bien
meh kah-EES-teh mwee byen
I really liked you
💬 [Caerle bien a alguien] means to like someone in the sense of finding them pleasant, not romantic love. Same pattern: [Me caes bien] = "I like you" / "You seem nice to me."
