I think that all three scenarios are possible. To argue this I would base it on the similarity between the range limit in the text and the range limit of the spell. If you treat the giving a command like a cantrip, than all three scenarios are possible. When casting a spell you need to be within range for the cast but not for the full duration of the spell. Not even for concentration spells as by the sage advice answer:

You don’t need to be within line of sight or within range to maintain concentration on a spell, unless a spell’s description or other game feature says otherwise.

I am drawing this connection to the range of the spell is because I think the intent of the rule is to avoid someoneyou casting the spell in range and then affecting something that would not be within range for the initial cast. With 1 hour of duration and 15 feet movement the servent could move quite far away from you in an area that you might not be able to get close to for the initial cast. But in none of your three scenarios you are doing such thing. So from the intent of the rule (that I assume) this connection makes sense and your scenarios are fine.

Furthermore I see that all three scenarios are possible because the spell doesn't state otherwise with exact reading and spells never do more than they state.
