As a general rule, saying, "How are you", is just a greeting. It does not require any detailed response except the customary, "Fine, thanks" or "Not bad. How about you?".
If you ask, "How ARE ... you doing" or "How are ... YOU doing", it might be a signal for the other person to go into more personal details about their health and circumstances.

Basically the same, but "How are you doing?" seems more colloquial.

Thank you Robert.

Basically they are the same question. They are both examples of "small talk" or ways to start a conversation.
