Agent Double 0-Boromir had to be invited along, he was going that way anyway. They're a polite bunch, they took him along even though noone in the Fellowship really liked him (admit it). Interesting what you say about spiritual guidance from Eru (or maybe the Valar) - there are many places in the book where characters are suddenly moved by a force from themselves they do not fully understand, even to the point of 'speaking in tongues' as Frodo does, at least twice. Tolkien's ideals frequently come through in the book.
