That was actually extremely useful. One of those small things that really helps a lot.

And I just had an answer where the correct answer was given as: ... go dtí Baile Átha Cliath. Was that right?

You have to use go dtí with the definite article. But you can use it without. On the other hand 'go' cannot/would not/should not be used alone with definite article...
I don't think so as there's no definite article (an) before Sasana. England is just Sasana. France, Spain, etc are, however, An Fhrainc/An Spáinn, etc. You only use "go dtí" before the definite article the (an/na) or a definite phrase. Thus, Chuaigh mé go Sasana but Chuaigh mé go dtí An Fhrainc/An Spáinn.(http://www.daltai.com/forums/viewthread/927/)
"D'imigh mé go Sasana anuraidh" is 100% correct so I reported it. I'll never finish this Level 8!

Slightly different meaning. What you wrote translates to "I left to England last year".

"I went away to England" or "I left for England" would be better translations of d'imigh mé.
