they don't live in the country where I live in right now, or they don't live in the country that I'm living in right now?
English is not my mother tongue :)

You should say, "They don't live in the country where I live right now".
Since the word country refers to a place, you should say where.
A similar example would be something like:
"I talked to the girl who stole my shoes." Versus "I talked to the girl that stole my shoes."
Since the girl is a person, you would use "the girl who stole my shoes".
Hope this helps!

They don't live in the same country as I am living in right now! =)

Try this:
They don't live in the country WHERE I live right now.
Using the preposition "in" the second time is not the best choice for that sentence.

They don't live in the country in which I currently live.
OR
They don't live in the country where I live now.

you could always go with: We do not live in the same country right now.

English is my mother tongue - and I am struggling with this one. Normally the second is correct - but within context the first could be accurate. Eventually context is everything, but taken cold - go for the second.

Actually, neither. It should actually be "neither one of them lives in the country I live in now".
