Here is the nuts and bolds. You are repeating "us" in the same breath, not that is is wrong but it is not a favorable writing style.

If you want to improve the tone of the sentence, I would sugest the following depending on how the rest of the context goes:

Please let us know where you live and what topics you'd like / want to hear by email.

"I Would like..." is a more polite way of saying "I want to..."

"Will like", which has essentially the same meaning as " I want ", is a less used and rare utterance among the natives. So I personally avoid it.

Hi.

Both would be possible with difference in meaning.

Would suggests unlikely, imaginary or hypothetical situations. and will sounds like a promise that is likely to be fullfilled.

Would like is a common phrasal verb meaning want, so would is a better choice.
