Voy a llevarle al séptimo piso. Se voy a llevar al septimo piso.
Let's start with the easy one. The 2nd sentence is just a rearrangement of the first sentence so you don't change the pronouns.
Se Le voy a llevar al séptimo piso. (Are you an elevator operator?)
I would quibble about the use of the le pronoun here as it is a direct object in this sentence, so lo/la is normally used, but le is acceptable in certain countries.
Me voy (I am going)
If you check the Reference article on Ir and Irse in our Library, you will see that Me voy is usually translated as "I am leaving (this location)" (Voy or *I am going * connotates a destination)
Te me voy (I am going to take you informal so would formal be se unstead of te?)
This is the hardest one to correct as I don't understand what you are trying to say. I do not know where you got the word "take" in your translation.
The order of the pronouns before the verb is reflexive, indirect, then direct object pronouns. So in Te me voy the Te is either an indirect object pronoun or a reflexive pronoun (with no d.o.p.). It cannot be a reflexive pronoun, however, because the reflexive pronoun used with voy is me, not te. Therefore, you must be using it as a indirect ofbject pronoun and me must be a d.o.p. I don't think that that was your intention looking at you English translation, so you have an error.
To answer your question, in general, until you correct it so we can explain it in context:
the te would be replaced with se if the te is a reflexive pronoun (to switch to formal)
the te would be replaced by le or possibly se (before a 3rd. person d.o.p.) if it is an indirect object pronoun (to form the formal)
the te would be replaced by, lo/la (le regionally) if the te is a direct object pronoun (to form the formal)
