"Come stai?" is a direct translation of How are you? Stai is the tu (you, singular, familiar) form of stare (to be as a condition). It is not an abbreviation. The other verb to be "essere" is used for description. "Come va?" is like "How's it going?" "Come stanno?" would be "How are they?" "Tutto a posto." is like "Everything's fine."
