Answer

It’s correct to talk about the time at which an event is due to happen, but that's not really how I’d say it. It would be better to say “the bus is due to arrive (at 9:00)” or “the class is due to start (at 8:00).” Or, we could simply say “the bus arrives” or “the class starts.” Note the use of the simple present to talk about scheduled events.

Answer

When "due" means "scheduled to arrive", then say "due + at + time", "due + on + day".

"due to" is a conjunction that means "because of". This is a completely different usage of "due".

Answer

It's common to use it when referring to a deadline, such as for a project or homework.

- My research paper is due a week from today.
- I have homework that's due tomorrow.
