Answer 1

This would be simplest with an auxiliary calendar table. See this link, for example.

However, it can be done without one, though it's rather tricky. Here I assume you want the first future date that is the first Sunday of a month. I've written this with a variable @now for - well - now, so it's easier to test. It might be possible to write more simply, but I think this has a better chance of being correct than quickly-written simpler solutions. [Corrected by adding DAY(d) < 8]

SET @now = GETDATE();
WITH Seven(i) AS (
  SELECT -1 UNION ALL SELECT 0 UNION ALL SELECT 1
            UNION ALL SELECT 3 UNION ALL SELECT 4
            UNION ALL SELECT 5 UNION ALL SELECT 6
), Candidates(d) AS (
  SELECT DATEADD(WEEK,i+DATEDIFF(WEEK,'19000107',@now),'19000107')
  FROM Seven
) 
  SELECT TOP (1) d AS SoonestFutureFirstSunday
  FROM Candidates
  WHERE DAY(d) < 8 AND MONTH(d) >= MONTH(@now)
  AND (MONTH(d) > MONTH(@now) OR DAY(d) > DAY(@now)) 
  ORDER BY d;      ORDER BY d;

Answer 2

Here is a query to get first working day of next month

DECLARE @DAYOFWEEK INT,@ReminderDate DateTime
SET @DAYOFWEEK = DATEPART( WEEKDAY,DateAdd(D,- Day(GetDate())+1, DATEADD(M,1,GetDate())) )
Print @DAYOFWEEK
If @DAYOFWEEK = 1
Set @ReminderDate = DateAdd(D,- Day(GetDate())+2, DATEADD(M,1,GetDate()))
Else If @DAYOFWEEK =7
Set @ReminderDate = DateAdd(D,- Day(GetDate())+3, DATEADD(M,1,GetDate()))
Else
Set @ReminderDate = DateAdd(D,- Day(GetDate())+1, DATEADD(M,1,GetDate()))
Print @ReminderDate

Answer 3

I reckon that the answer is this

SELECT  DATEADD(Month, DATEDIFF(Month, 0, GETDATE()) + 1, 0) + 6 - (DATEPART(Weekday,
                  DATEADD(Month,
                      DATEDIFF(Month,0, GETDATE()) + 1, 0))
                  + @@DateFirst + 5) % 7 --FIRST sunday of following month
