prendre de- pronom indirect

I just saw in an exercice- Il a pris la voiture de son ami.

The answer with the pronoms- il lui a pris la voiture.

Here the preposition is 'de', not 'à'.

How to understand this?

Am I right in thinking that you would never use, d'il or d'ils and instead we should use de lui and d'eux?

Les femmes sont retournées voir leur mère.

As voir is not a preposition, why is être used? Is is because the verb is intransitive in this case? So, its better to not only look for prepositions following the verb, but how it is used? This is my logic, and is it acceptable?
