You might get a more thorough answer in the Sentence Diagramming Forum, but for me it is helpful to think of the sentences this way:

1 - He saw the figure of old Seraphine (who was) coming towards him.
2 - He was like an invalid (who had) come downstairs after a long illness.
3 - She would sit watching the fallen leaves of (= leaves that had already fallen) last year, as she had watched the falling ashes (= ashes that were continually falling) at home.
4 - Withholding the money (that was) asked of us in the form of extra rents is also our last weapon.
5 - He had received an urgent message (that was) asking him to telephone Sir Matthew.

I hope this helps!
