In real life, Vietnamese pronouns change a lot depending on age, relationship, and context, but tôi is still very useful and widely understood.
Vietnamese often leaves out objects when they are already understood from context.
So in Tôi gửi trả, the thing being returned is omitted because it is obvious from the situation. For example, it could mean:

- Tôi gửi trả sản phẩm.
English often prefers to state the object more clearly, but Vietnamese can sound natural without it when the listener already knows what item is being discussed.
