Two-part sign- place your hands together in an open “a” handshape toughing your knuckles to each other while rolling your dominant hand forward creating a cupping handshape. The second part you will point your dominant index finger to who you are talking to.
Sign 'HELLO', then smoothly transition into bringing your knuckles together for the first part of the sign, rolling your dominant hand forward, and pointing to the person.
Sign 'TODAY' first to establish the time, then perform the two-part sign by rolling your dominant hand forward from the knuckles and pointing at the person.
After signing 'ME GOOD', pause slightly to indicate a shift in the conversation, then execute the two-part sign, finishing with a clear point to your conversation partner.

No, you do not! ASL does not use 'to be' verbs like 'am,' 'is,' or 'are.' The two parts of this sign—the rolling motion for 'HOW' and the point for 'YOU'—completely cover the entire meaning of the English phrase.
Because 'how' is a 'wh-word' question, you should furrow your eyebrows (lower them slightly) and tilt your head forward just a bit while maintaining eye contact with the person you are addressing.
If you are specifically asking 'how are you,' you need to include the point for 'YOU' to make it clear who you are asking. If you just sign the first part, it simply means the question word 'how'.
