These are all dealing with direction and time, specifically, where someone is and where they were before.
To go back (to) - To return to where one was.
To get back - Can mean both "To obtain what one no longer has" and "To go (move,return) back to where one was (or used to be).
To come back - To return from being somewhere else, but can be said from the perspective of the traveler(s) or the person/people from the original place who didn't leave.
