If you want to ask where someone is living, youd usually ask "Where do you live". You can say "Where are you living" if theyre living somewhere temporarily and will go soon (ex. If theyre an exchange student). If their stay is much more brief (ex. theyre on holidays), youd say "Where are you staying". If you want to ask where someone is from, youd say "Where are you from?" or "Where do you come from?", to which the answer could be a city, country, continent etc. If you only want to ask about the city you could say "Which city are you from?" or "What city do you come from?", although Id probably say something like "Where exactly are you from?", in which case theyd give you details (probably both the country and the city).
