你可能agree to一个东西,但是你不一定agree with它。
1.“agree to do sth”表示“同意做某事”
不定式 to do 含有“要去做......”的含义,所以,agree to do 就是同意去做什么事,例如:

究竟是什么让她同意嫁给他的?

那你我只能各自保留不同意见了。

Did you agree to come with him? 你同意跟他一块去了吗?
当agree to中to作介词时,含义为:接受、认可,常常指并非出于主观愿望的“同意”,尤指不乐意或经过争论之后的同意(含有未必赞成的意思);agree to后常接建议、计划、安排等如:
At last his wife agreed to the trip if he allowed her to go also.
