Am i thinking corectly?

We say "I'm going to a supermarket." instead of saying "I go to a supermarket.", because the second sentence means I go to a supermarket on a specific time and every day or week or mounth, but the second one means that I'm going to a supermarket right now and that doesn't mean I always go to a supermarket on that time, right?

If we don't add "right now" to the sentence "Where are you going right now?" would it be correct?

Yes. "Where are you going?" usually means "Where are you going right now?" anyway.
