Let’s suppose a human fighter used action surge. Could they use dash twice? If they did, would they move 90’ or 120’

Yes he can use action surge to dash twice, the total deplacement would be Move 30' + Dash 30' + Action Surge Dash 30' = 90' if the base movement is 30

Yes, and they would move 90' since Dash doesn't double movement but gives movement equal to your speed, and your speed is unchanged.

Or, if you're also a rogue, you can Dash three times, for 120'.

The same wood elf Monk level 16 (+25') with Fighter 2 for Action Surge and Rogue 2 for cunning action to be allow to dash with his bonus action get a base of 60' + 60' for dash + 60' for action surge dash + 60' for bonus action dash for rogue cunning action = 240' in a round

And the first Monk could expend a Ki Point to Dash as a Bonus Action, granting a total movement that Turn of 260 Feet. In case for some reason that Monk REALLY felt like they needed to cover some ground.

For a silly character I've created a bird man monk with 2 levels of warlock for EB to be my "super high tech jet fighter".

And if someone casts Haste on you, you'd get yet another action which could also be used to dash, and also double your speed.

And then you could have Longstrider cast on you for an additional +10 Speed!

Tabaxi instead of wood elf, double speed for one round, throw in boots of speed as well.
