It’s hard to find information about a como dé lugar in the usual places, but Linguee says this:
a como dé lugar adverb [Lat. Am.]
at any cost adv
So it seems not to be used in Spain.
It’s commonly used in Mexican Spanish. Not sure whether I’ve heard it in other Lat. Am. varieties or not.

Yes, “no matter what” is another translation for all three. Although como sea of course has so many other possible translations in different contexts (meaning it can serve as an alternative to the other two expressions, but they can’t reliably substitute it ).
