2 is Indian English in particular.

3 would be correct if you mean that someone has gone inside a mountain, perhaps by entering a tunnel or deep cave in it.

BulbulTada1) I was wondering what this has got to do with that.

Correct.

BulbulTada2) I am knowing English.

No. 'know' is a non-progressive verb, so it's not used in the continuous tenses.

BulbulTada3) I am in the mountain right now.

OK if you're in a cave in the mountain (inside the mountain).

Or you may mean that you are in a mountainous region, a place where there are a lot of hills and mountains. If that's the case, use this:

I am in the mountains right now.

Or you may mean that you have reached the peak of a mountain. In that case, use

I am on the mountain right now or I am on the mountain peak right now.
