would nato do anything?
NATO won't, simply because there's no unanimity about what to do - the Eastern and Northern states see Ukraine as the test bench of Europe's willingness to fight, and see themselves as next on Vlads' menu, but Germany is dead set against even stiff statements lest they get in the way of gas and business.
France is making statements that vere one way and then the other, Sweden (not NATO, but with a relationship so close that not only it may as well be, but rather closer than a couple of NATO members), is sending troops to Ukraine, the UK holds regular exercises there, we've a training mission there, and we're building them a Navy, and the US is shovelling munitions to Ukraine like they're going out of fashion.
