Case study;
I am watching TV;my brother/sister asks your watching TV? isn't that obvious
Eve is sleeping;big bro ask Oh Eve;your sleeping? again isn't that obvious
Plus other such kind scenarios; where one sees you doing something; then asks you if your doing it as if they don't have eyes
Why would that be/is that?

It's a way of making conversation or saying 'hello' or kindly trying to get your attention without just walking up and standing there and staring at you while trying to get your attention.

It's like someone asking if you're sleeping. Just answer "Yes."

They are really asking if they can interrupt you.

How about "Where did you lose it?" Or "Can I buy you lunch?"

I don't think you got it. If you knew where you lost it, you can go there and find it and it is not lost.
