The most common definition for the word “seat”: noun – is an object designed for someone to place their bottom (butt), as in part of a chair, sofa, etc. The most common definition for “sit”: verb – is to rest the bottom in a chair, sofa, etc. In this case “sit” is the action.
When SEAT is used as a verb, SIT is intransitive and SEAT is transitive, e.g.
John sat between Jill and Jane
The host seated John next to Jill.
The verb phrase "to sit" is usually used to describe what a person
does when they place themselves in a seated position. "To seat"
usually describes taking someone else to the place where they will
sit. A waiter seats a customer and the customer sits.
用汉语简单来说就是seat一般当做名词用，当动词用的时候多用为及物动词，而sit多用作非及物动词。sit一般指有位置在等候人去做，seat一般指人去寻找位置来坐。例子见上
其实老外平时说话也会混着用这两个词，这根本不影响理解和交流，就是书面出现时候注意一下理解就行了
