Hello MoussA El-GazzaR,
These are two entirely different words without any particular similarity. For the base definitions and uses of these words you can check in a dictionary:
set
sit
If you have particular examples in mind then please post the sentences and we'll be happy to comment on those.
Best wishes,

Hello MoussA,
Did you follow the links that Peter posted? Those definitions are definitely not the same. Just because you can use 'down' after both words doesn't make them mean the same thing. You sit down on a chair but you set down your phone on a table.
All the best,

Sit is not sat
Hello Petals,
The meanings here are very close and in most cases I would say that they are interchangeable. Certainly 'by' and 'near' are really the same, I would say.
'Off the main road' suggests that you need to move away from the main road to reach the house. It may be down a minor road or a path, for example.
Best wishes,
