On a quick reading, all of those sound okay.

For the last one, 'here' is implied, I don't think you need it.

For the last one, keeping "here" is fine. As an example scenario, Mary could be traveling by plane from somewhere else. You might want to ask what time she will arrive at the airport, or you might want to ask what time she will arrive at the place where you are now. Adding "here" makes it clear what you are asking.
