How do you say " He/She/They want(s) to ask you...." in polite formulas? How do you say " He/She/They want(s) to ask you...." in polite formulas? Can it be: He/She/They would like to know if you...or, He/She/They would like to ask you...? Are there any other ways to express the same idea? Thanks!

Your examples are all fine. "Wish to ask," also can be used and is very polite. The following are all polite ways of asking: He/she/they would like to ask. He/she/they wish to ask. He/she/they would like to know. He/she/they wish to know.

Both are correct but the second one, He/She/They would like to ask you, is the formal way of saying, He,She,They want(s) to ask you. He/She/They would like to know if you can also be used but in a different situation. If you would like to know more, just write a comment, Id be happy to help! :)
