How do you reply to Wo bist du geboren?
You were born in Germany = Sie sind in Deutschland geboren.
Are you born in Germany? = Sind sie in deutschland geboren?
=============================================
The grammatically correct form is Sie sind in Deutschland geboren worden (past participle) but this is too cumbersome even by German standards, so it is commonly reduced to Sie sind in Deutschland geboren.
Another, simpler, way of saying it is: Sie wurden in Deutschland geboren (past tense)

It means "Since when do you speak German?"

Wie bist du is the literal translation of how are you? It is not a phrase that German speakers would use in the context of asking how are you? but rather how did you..? Wie bist Du dort angekommen? / wie bist Du hier angekommen? - How did you get there/here?
How are you is wie geht's dir in German. You can answer it by saying: Gut, danke. (Fine, thanks.) If you are not feeling well, you can also say: Leider nicht so gut. (Not so good.) It's common in Germany to give an honest answer.
