were = they were seen together yesterday

where = where abouts did you see them together.

So 'where' would be correct. "Where are things at" is not the correct use of English - I believe it is slang for 'what is happening' or 'what is the news'. It is better not to use slang.

"Where are things?" is better because it doesn't end a sentence with a preposition. However, in modern spoken American English, that rule is mostly ignored. When asked about the rule, Winston Churchill said, "The rule forbidding a preposition at the end of a sentence, is a pedantry, up with which, I will not put" The odd avoidance of "put up with" at the end of the sentence proves the point that the rule is pointless.

However, "Where are things at?" does sound less educated, if not strictly incorrect.
