TO her room sounds like you only go up to her door and stop there, where in or inside are clear you are going inside. As for the difference between in and inside there is no difference really but most people might say in as it is shorter.

"So, you're going TO her room?"- Correct. What I use all the time.
"IN her room?"- Correct. I would use it if I wanted to make it really clear I am going in, otherwise I would use 'to'.
"INSIDE her room?"- correct although rarely used as 'TO' will suffice. However, if you wanted to emphasise 'INSIDE' as going inside will be problematic then you could use that. e.g. "Oh my god! You are going INSIDE?? But there are bombs in there!'
