It depends on the situation.
Is this working? = Is this (whatever) doing what it's supposed to do (now)...functioning properly?
Does this work? = [ the same as above ]; Is this satisfactory to you?

When you ask a question about appropriateness, you have to describe more fully the situation where you want to use your examples. In this case both are correct, but one is appropriate for some situations, and the other is appropriate for other situations.
