I'm not 100% confident in my translation. My assumption is that なければなりません
applies to both clauses 見ていく and 気をつける. If not, then I can't make the two
clauses link together in any logical way.

Assuming my assumptions are correct would it also be natural to swap the order
of these clauses:

> 見ていってこれからどうなるか気をつけなければなりません。  
>  We have to go and look at it and pay attention to what's happening.

In English this order feels more natural, but I have no idea about Japanese.

question
grammar て-form
Can なければなりません apply to previous clause joined with て
I think the best way to think of the 気をつけて here is as a quasi-adverbial usage
modifying 見ていく. In other words, 気をつけて見ていく refers to the single action of
"carefully watching over it going forward".

Note that the いく in 見ていく here does not literally refer to going anywhere, but
is part of the common ～ていく usage meaning "to do something from now on". If the
meaning was "go and look at it", it would have to be 見 **に** 行く.
