The 「も」 in 「～～たりもして」 is the usual "too = as well = also". Someone probably is doing A and he probably is doing B as well (as A). If you are mentioning just one action, you drop the 「も」.
There is no auxiliary verb in 「～～たり（も）して」
たり = a connective particle
も = a particle
して = a verb. Since this is in the continuative form, the 「して」 ending is used only in casual speech.
The dictionary form of 「して」 is 「する」, if that is what you are asking about.
