When either seems OK

Hi. Are these correct? Or perhaps the question should be, "Which is correct?"

1. Where does he escape (to?)?

2. Mix everything together and cook it roughly for 20 minutes again in low heat. Remove (it?) and enjoy.

3. I think you have a good chance of making the qualifying session. Try (it?).

4. Please stay on (in?) your bed until he gets here.

Thank you. Could you tell me why we need to have the preposition "to" at the end of example sentence one I wrote?

1. Where did he escape to?

It seems to deviate from the normal pattern that accompanies what I think are typical "question and answer" responses involving the question word "where," for example (please note both questions with the question word "where" don't have any

It depends on the verb; many take 'to' optionally:

Where did he go (to)? He went to the park.
Where is he? He is at the park.
Where did he escape to? He escaped to the park.
Where did he escape? He escaped under the north wall.
