Those must be Australian uses of the word. Except for the first one, which I would interpret as "to try", I have not heard any of those uses for "going" in conversation in America.
Yes, that is an alternate interpretation for the first. But Mom, haven't you realized by now that this blog is all about Australian English and other cultural differences? Of course those are the Australian interpretations!!
