"Both the morning equally lay" refers to both paths. They are (almost) equal in the eyes of the speaker. Nothing much differentiates them aside from that one is less traveled than the other, simply meaning that less people have walked upon it.
"Yet knowing how way leads on to way" refers to a theoretical branching of either path further ahead. As one walks, he or she may find more and more intersections and more choices; this metaphorically refers to the choices that people make in life. One decision can have significant effects on one's future. With your indulgence, the simplest example:
You are about to leave for school. You're hungry, but you don't want to be late. You leave on time without eating, perhaps three minutes earlier than you would have had you had breakfast. You end up at a red traffic light. Three minutes earlier, a truck blew through that intersection and crushed another car.
