¿qué tú hace?..........I assumes it means what are you doing when someone asks me that, but is it correct to ¿qué tú haciendo? or is 'qué tú hace ' correct if you're asking 'what are you doing? I thought we are supposed to use the progressive ending?

Welcome to the forum
We often use the present simple in this context:
¿Qué haces? What are you doing?
The structure given by you is unusual in Spain. Grammatically is is wrong, it should be:
¿Qué haces tú?

so , I guess when I am asked that, it's kind of like 'american-spanish slang?' I hear so many phrases that are grammatically incorrect!! - lachicacafe10, Nov 21, 2010
It's not like slang, it's just wrong. It would be like asking "What does you?" - samdie, Nov 22, 2010
