Hi,
They all refer to the idea of acceptance.
Agree on a plan suggests two or more people have the same idea about what should be done.
Agree with a proposal or another person when you accept that proposal or the person's point view because both are the same - yours and theirs.
Agree to often plus an infinitive as in: agree to do something as when you have volunteered to do something.

Welcome, NC7!
Indeed, you can either agree to something or agree something: We have agreed (to) their request. |

| Would the line 'my imprecation lies(...)' be considered proper English? | Quadruple of...? |
