i believe that the use of the imperfect here is for the past progressive tense.

My comment:

What you suggest is OK, but this is simpler and at the same language level.

My comment:

because of the previous verb conjugation directly before it, it probably means that Pedro would have been seeing him/her with whoever the speaker is talking to.
