There's very little information concerning Sacagawea after the expedition. Some Native American oral traditions relate that rather than dying in 1812, Sacagawea left her husband Charbonneau, crossed the Great Plains and married into a Comanche tribe, then returned to the Shoshone in Wyoming where she died in 1884.

Yes, she returned to her family when the Lewis and Clark expedition passed from what is now Montana to what is now Idaho where she had originally grown up before being kidnapped. At this time she left the expedition and with her help Lewis and Clark negotiated with her people for horses to continue the expedition with. She would have been of no further help as a guide to the expedition as she knew nothing of the lands, peoples, or languages further west.
