She is going to watch the film on the TV after she finishes her homework. The sentences with "going" express the idea that someone intends and plans to do something in the future.

When they get to the hotel, they will jump into the pool. In general, when the speaker makes a prediction (a statement about something that s/he thinks will be true or will happen in the future), either "will" or "will go" is possible. In this usage, the meaning is the same as the future tense form "to go to".
Present continuous is used to express future time when the sentence concerns a certain plan, a certain purpose, a certain future activity. Verbs such as go, arrive, arrive, stay, leave are often used in the present tense to express future time. Verbs that express planned means of transport in the future are also often used in the present tense; for example, fly, walk, drive, ride, take (taxi, bus, etc.).
The simple present can express future time when events occur according to a certain schedule or timetable. Future tense clauses always use the simple present tense; future forms are NEVER used in tense clauses.
