The word after "if"

Hello, I have a few sentences. I would like to know what their differences are.

1. If he goes to school, he would have performed well in his exams.

2. If he went to school, he would have performed well in his exams.

What is the correct verb after the "if"?

----------Second Part--------------------

1. What i want to know is where he is from.

2. What i wanted to know is where he is from.

When should i use want and when should i use wanted in this context?

Thank you in advance.
