1 and 2 are correct. ‘Fetch’ and ‘catch’ mean different things.
fetch - retrieve it and return it to me
catch = seize

  1. They are probably both okay, but only ‘fetch’ sounds correct unless you indicate where he is to be brought:
    Could you go and bring him here? / Could you go and bring him to the meeting?

  2. Both are okay.
