1. The future progressive is probably unnecessary. 2. Will doesn't sound appropriate here. 3. This is better than the others, but I would write He is going togo there tomorrow.
'1' and '3' are the same, about planned things in the future. '2' is about an unplanned event, which is why we have 'If everything is ok, he will go there tomorrow.'
In other words, for '1' & '3' you are pretty sure about it, but for '2' you are less than sure.
