we don't use 'with' (mit) here in German. It would mean that they both sit down together. Since the woman sits already, the man is sitting down 'to' the woman: zu.Breakdown of Er setzt sich zu der Frau.
die Frau
the woman
er
he
sich setzen
to sit down
important: this is a movement towards a direction (down) you are standing and moving into a sitting position.
zu
to; at
