Are these sentences correct:
1) There are things that you cannot do and not tell your family that you've done them.
2) There are things that you cannot see and remain the same person.
3) I did something that no man can do and remain the same.
4) I did something that when a man does is, he is changed forever.
Gratefully,

All OK except the last one (4). Did you mean "it" before the comma? That's OK.
In (1) I'd consider the final "them" optional, but personally, I'd keep it.

Does the negative "cannot" refers also to the verb "remain" in that sentence?
No.
There are things that you cannot see and then continue to be the same person after you have seen them.
By the way,
After auxiliary do (do, does, did) you must use the plain form of the verb.

Thank you for the explanation and correction.
So the sentence There are things that you cannot see and remain the same person to be fully understood should have the phrase "after having seen them" in it, like this: There are things that you cannot see and remain the same person after having seen them.
Is my understanding correct?
I suppose if you aren't a native speaker of English, that could be true, but native speakers fully understand it without the extra clause there. I guess that's because we've heard patterns like this all our lives.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
You can't make a lot of mistakes and accomplish your goals.
You can't be the subject of severe public criticism and get re-elected.
