"Quo" in Latin is either a form of the interrogative and indefinite pronoun quis/quid or of the relative pronoun qui/quae/quod, or an adverb derived from these. It can be translated into English in various ways depending on how it's used:

in quo vadis ("where are you going?") quo is "[to] where?"

in status quo ("the state in which") quo is "in which"

in quid pro quo ("something for something") quo is "something"

in fortius quo fidelius ("stronger because more faithful") quo is "because" (compare English "in that")

"What," "which" or "who" as a pronoun and "where," "whereto" or "whither" as an adverb are English equivalents of the Latin word quo. Prepositions such as "by" or "from" may appear before the English translations of quo as a pronoun since the ablative case indicates agency, instrument, location or separation. The pronunciation will be "kwo" in Church and classical Latin.

It is a question heading, meaning "Where...to?"

More appropriately, it is styled "Quo...?" so it is asking a question.
