Referente implicito de "las"

En este grupo de frases, ¿es que "las" significa implícitamente “las cosas”? O sea, ¿es que una frase como “vamos a arreglárnoslas para que todo vaya bien” se puede entender como “vamos a arreglarnos (las cosas) para que todo vaya bien”? ¡Gracias por la ayuda!

Using "donde" rather than "dónde" after "estar"

In today's translation exercise - "Something’s not right in my new home" - I had to scratch my head really hard to understand why the phrase "objetos que no estaban donde los había dejado" had rendered "donde" without a tilde on the 'o'... Yes, it is a relative clause - but here, the 'connecting link-word' is "que" rather than "donde" > (" ... objects [which were] not where I had left them").

Initially, I thought I should be able to compare it with sentences structured round the verb "saber", for example:

"No sé dónde lo guardé"

and

"No sé dónde viven" -

[sentences given in my dictionary and grammar book].
