Who was the woman of Samaria who gave Jesus a drink?

The question you have asked contains almost all that is known of the woman of Samaria. She was a resident of Sychar, a town in Samaria. She had had 5 husbands and was living with a man to whom she wasn't married. None of the accounts of Jesus' encounter with the woman at the well contain the woman's name. Jesus remained in Sychar for two days. It is highly probable that He and the disciples learned the woman's name (and her boyfriend's) during that time. Those names, whatever they were, were known only to the people there present. They were nowhere recorded in Scripture.

At whose well did Jesus meet a woman drawing water?

Great question.The encounter between Jesus and the woman at the well occurs in the region of Samaria in the city of Sychar. (cf. Jn 4:4-5)Significance of the Location - AllegoricalJesus' encounter with the woman at Jacob's well (cf. Jn 4:6) in Sychar recalls the marital arrangements (covenants) described in the Pentateuch. These Old Testament covenants of marriage become types, parallels and foreshadowings, of the New Testament covenant between Christ the Bridegroom and His Bride the Church.That is, just as the brides of Isaac (Gn 24:10-67), Jacob (Gn 29:1-30) and Moses (Ex 2:15-21) were first found at a well, so too do we see Jesus the Bridegroom now in search of His Bride the Church, among other places, at the well of His ancestors. (cf. Jn 3:29, Rev 19:7-9)Significance of the Location - HistoricalMany scholars consider Sychar to be ancient Shechem, where Jacob purchased a field. (cf. Gn 33:18-20)While the explanation above provides an allegoricalperspective on the location, below St. Thomas Aquinas provides some historical perspective on Sychar (i.e. Shechem) in his Catena:CHRYS. It [Sychar, or ancient Shechem] was the place where Simeon and Levi made a great slaughter for Dinah. (Chrys. Hom. xxxi. 2.) [cf. Gn 34:25-31] THEOPHYL. But after the sons of Jacob had desolated the city, by the slaughter of the Sychemites, Jacob annexed it to the portion of his son Joseph, as we read in Genesis, I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword, and with my bow. (Gn 48:22). This is referred to in what follows, Near to the place of ground which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
