Present tense

If I'm talking to someone in the present(at the moment) can I say:

What brought you to new york? or

What brings you to new york?

Are both grammatically correct and natural in conversation?

Moving on a fast pace. Or

Moving at a fast pace.

What's the difference?

Are they both usable and mean the same thing?

Thanks for sharing!
