"Do" is a preposition meaning something like "at, near to, close to". It
is also often used as a prefix with verbs. It is different from "da" which
is a conjunction.
The connection of -vesti and -vedoN: -dt- regularly > -st- (-tt- also).
Already in PIE we have *s inserted in *TT. In Slavic *TsT > *st.
