0"To pick it up" is more formal. "go pick it up" is casual. I think, in your question, "to pick it up" would be preferred, even casually.

0"To pick it up" is more formal. "go pick it up" is casual. I think, in your question, "to pick it up" would be preferred, even casually. I think the usage derives from the imperative, "Go pick it up," or the statement, "I'm gonna go pick it up." "Where do I need to go?" is asking for a location, while "go pick it up," is simply, "Just go do it!"02br

0 Either 01i00do I need02i00 or 01i00would I need02i00 are correct, though 01i00would02i00 seems unnecessarily weak to my ear, as if to add "if by some whim I decide that I may actually want to pick it up"!02br
00Other possibilities:02br
01i00Where can I go to ... ? Where should I go to ...?02
