I have said and often hear "Do you work tonight?" I am surprised others would not say it. Perhaps it is regional.
To me, all four questions work fine.

We do not say 'do you work tonight?'
The other three work sentences are correct.
You should say 'There is a dog and a cat over there,' as both things are singular.

Basically we don't use the verb 'to do,' on its own in the future tense (without the addition of 'will.')
'Will you do some work tonight?' Would be fine.
'Do you work tonight?' Does not make sense because 'do,' without 'will,' is a present tense construction but you are asking about the future.

All of the questions are correct, "Do you work tonight?" sounds weird though. In spoken English is common to hear they say ARE YOU WORKING TONIGHT?
