It is a greeting and the usual answer is "fine, thanks, and you?" or as like they say in Spanish "como esta?" and the other person replies "muy bien, e tu?" It is just a greeting, unfortunately there are some people out there that think when you greet them this way, you are asking for a run down on their health, life etc. then it is time to say, "oh my goodness, look at the time! I will have to catch up with you later!", and then remember never greet that person like that again!

Usually it's a greeting. No body really wants to hear your good/bad news when they first see or meet you. It's just the proper well mannered thing to say at occasion.

It's both, just like "how are you" is one as well.
