The two had a strange sort of bond from both having been Ring-bearers; in Gollum, Frodo saw his possible future, and so wanted to save him so he could save himself. Gollum said he would lead them south, where he knew of another entrance into Mordor, in which Frodo complied, despite Sam’s suspicions.

How did Gollum see Sauron?

Yes, he fell but he took Gil-Galad and Elendil with him, killing them even as they struck a mortal blow against Sauron.
