"Itte rassyai" is a command form of a polite verbal "itte irassyaru", a ritual expression meaning "Bye! (Having gone, come back!)," and it is used when you see somebody off expecting the person will come back. Therefore, you cannot use the word for yourself.

"Ikimasu (go)" is a motion verbal and it does not take "o" to indicate a destination.  Note that is it possible to say "Kono miti o ikimasita (I went through this street)."

b.     __O___ made                    "I went as far as the post office."

c.     __O___ ni mo                   " I also went to the post office."
