Synonyms of "Future" and their differences
Q:
What is the difference between be doing (present continuous future) and do (simple present future) ?
A:
the simple present is most commonly used for habitual actions
‘I go to school (high school, university, night school, etc.)’
‘I watch Korean dramas (on the weekend, every night, etc.)
the present continuous is most commonly used for present actions which may or may not be habitual
A: どこにいるの?
B: I’m working out at the gym (この日だけ?毎日?)
A: 何してんの
B: I’m on a date (モテるかい?NEETだい?)
In the case of your sentences, both are generally fine

‘The train’s arriving at 4’ > I don’t know whether or not this train REGULARLY departs at four, but all I know is that I’m taking it
‘She visits there tomorrow’ > fine, but sounds bookish

Q:
What is the difference between in the future and in the near future ?
A:
This is related to time. "In the future" could be any time in the future, whether it's tomorrow or 1,000 years from now.
Something that is near to you is the same as something that is close to you, and something that is close to you means that it is not far away. So "in the near future" means "in the future, but not that far into the future." So it is something that will happen soon, but not after a very long time.
Hopefully this makes sense. :)

I don’t think we ever use “can” for these tenses in real life. It sounds too strange.
Here’s a link I found http://www.verbix.com/webverbix/English/can.html
I think most English speakers won’t know what “present perfect” tense is until you give them an example. I use these words all the time, but i don’t know them as “present/past perfect.” I get that that’s how you use it though.
