'Be going to' and 'present continuous' future forms can be used in all of your sentences, and in most cases they are both more usual than the 'will' form. Don't confuse grammar with reality. It makes no difference whether you know whether the other person is actually planning; it is just a matter of what you may surmise or expect as reasonable—even though a native speaker does not reason about his future verb form choice.
