I am not a complete professional, but I would say that if you are “going along with something” it means that you are simply dealing with that is happening, without resisting or objecting. If you are “keen on something” then that means you want whatever it is you are keen on. It could also mean that you are excited or looking forward to something. I hope this helps.
