About context. It is a sentence from an anime series (charlotte). One of the
characters proposes their actions regarding other character (Ayumi, 歩未ちゃん).

Here we have 歩未ちゃんへの注意 (attention to Ayumi). And the sentence says to stress
(...を促す) this attention. So I guess the meaning is to make the teacher watch
Ayumi closely but how does に work here? Is the idea similar to something like
"ジョンに花をあげました。" But instead of flowers we have attention and instead of giving
(あげる) we have stressing (促す)?

question
grammar particle-に parsing
教師に歩未ちゃんへの注意を促す程度ですね。 Could you explain which words here are connected by に particle?
Basically yes, 教師 is the indirect object and 歩未ちゃんへの注意 is the direct object of
促す: _urge teachers to watch Ayumi carefully._

Just like this case, if the direct object is a noun meaning some action, it
often corresponds to English _verb + obj. + to inf._

  * 彼に買い物を頼む ask him to shop/go shopping.
  * 客に試食を勧める recommend customers to try eating
  * 部下に休暇を許可する allow subordinates to take holidays
  * 部下に残業を命じる order subordinates to work extra hours

* * *

程度 here is like "just...". E.g.,

> 運動しますか Do you do any exercise?  
>  散歩する程度ですね Just walking sometimes.
