I just know it in the context “el verbo ser”, so I don’t know who it would be talking about(I/you/they)
servae (slave girls) – Latin
What is ancillae then? I thought ancillae meant slave girl.
servae is the plural form of serva, which is the feminine form of servus (slave) which comes from an unknown root suggested to be in Proto-Indo-European.
ancillae is the plural form of ancilla (maid / slave girl). It comes from the diminutive form of ancula (maid) which is the feminine form of anculus (manservant), which again comes from an unknown root in PIE.
So, they seem to be homonyms, but perhaps there is some nuance.

If I remember my Latin correctly, servus (and serva/servae) is “slave” rather than servant
Yes, indeed.

ser is the infinitive; it translates to ‘to be’. Like fumar* is ‘to smoke’.
