Thank you, Philip! Could you please tell me a little more about those expressions or setences?... as I still don't understand what exactly they mean.

It is obvious from Mary's behavior that something is not going well. These questions ask about her condition.
Another example: You aren't eating your soup. What's wrong with it? ~ What's the matter with it?
