I do not think anyone would say the first sentence. It sounds too self-important and even funny. 時 is a much bigger word than 時間.

And also, when asking someone "What are you doing", should I say "何をしますか" or "何をしっていますか"?

Neither.
We say 「何をしているのですか。」 or, more colloquially 「何をしているんですか。」.
Both your sentences mean something very different than "What are you doing?".
何をしますか = What are you (or we) going to do? (future)
何をしっていますか = What do you know?
