Answer

There isn't such a word as "sitted". Only the second sentence is correct. You can also say "I didn't  talk much to the man who was sitting next to me."

Answer

Agree with Tobi.

Answer

The correct word to use in the first sentence would be "seated" instead of "sitted". That way the sentence is grammatically correct.
