No, I think you need these commas. Without the "together", it might be
possible to omit the commas. For example, you could write "Some flowers
and a love letter were sent to her." Phrasing this as a passive
sentence, by the way, gives the impression that you don't know (or would
prefer not to say) who sent them to her.

Your second example is a bit unnatural, in my opinion. I would write
"The principal and the teachers are going to attend a meeting." This
assumes that they are going to a meeting with some other people who are
not teachers. If they are going to be the only ones at the meeting, it
would be better to write "The principal is going to have a meeting with
the teachers."

Some flowers were sent to her with a love letter.
The principal and the teachers are going to a meeting.
You have two feet, as does everyone else.
