About ないで ⇒ んといて
ん itself is an abbreviation of ない, while といて is a shortened form of でおいて (the て form of おく, used for conveying that something is being done in advance). This means that んといて has the same meaning (and stems from) ないでおいて, which can literally be translated as 'to not do (for some future purpose)'.
