The priest who offers it: the pronoun it refers to the animal that is sacrificed. One may also say “The priest who performs the ritual shall eat the animal that is sacrificed” or something similar.

Shall eat it … it shall be eaten: this repetition of the same idea in both active and passive forms may be unnatural in some languages. Where this is the case, or where passives do not exist, it is acceptable to translate the idea once. This rule does not require that a single priest eat the entire animal, as a rather superficial reading might seem to indicate. Verse 29 makes it clear that other members of the priestly family are also allowed to eat the meat. This verse simply emphasizes the fact that no person outside the priestly class should be allowed to eat it.

A holy place: a place that has been set aside for this specific purpose. The rest of the verse makes it clear that the reference is to the “courtyard of the Tent of the LORD’s presence.” It is possible to translate the remainder of the verse “shall eat it in the courtyard of the Tent of the LORD’s presence, the place that has been dedicated for this purpose.”
