I have been asked the first set very rarely; only at LHR if I recall, and only for a UA flight bound for the US. The second set I was asked at MUC and FRA for UA flights bound for the US.
I fly from many western European countries on a very regular basis, and am asked the first set of questions maybe once or twice a year, if that. And since I recall being asked those in English, it would be at UK airports and most likely LHR.
I've flown quite a bit from Europe to the US the first half of this year, and up until last week at MUC, hadn't been asked those silly questions.
