Yeah. It's small talk that essentially means "How are you doing?". And you do, in fact, respond with things like, "Not much," or, "I'm doing fine. And you?". You can say it to any friend or even mere acquaintances (as long as it's not a formal setting).

it can also be understood as"what's wrong with you?" or " what happened to you?"

it is just an expression, it means like, how are you? what's new about you? how are you doing?
