Can I use this pronunciation 'ß' for which situation?
When I am creating a phrase, which of these examples should I use?
Wie heißen Sie? (hie-ssen)
and
Ich heißen Diego (hie-ssuh)
Doesn't matter what pronunciation I need to use? Or there's a specific
for which situation?

The words are different:
Wie heißen Sie? IPA approximately: ['haisen], English: "HI-ssen"
Ich heiße (!) Diego. ['haisɘ], "HI-ssuh"
The diphtong "ei" is the same as in English "hide". Final e is often a weak "uh" sound (schwa, [ɘ]).

Hallo,
ich weiß nicht ob ich deine Frage richtig verstehe, aber richtig ist:
Wie heißen Sie?
Ich heiße Diego.
"heissen" oder "heisse" ist nicht korrekt.

Ich heiße Diego. = hei ssuh
Man sagt nicht "ich heßen"!
Anyway, German pronunciation is easy. You don't need a special script for it.
