It's always polite, to first apologise for interrupting someone before asking your
question. All three questions are quite straight-forward in that you want to know what the place is called/where you are/what its name is.
Could you tell me the street we're on right now? I'm a little lost.
I'm sorry to bother you, but can you tell me where we are right now?
"Excuse me! Can you tell me where I am right now?" is an informal way of asking someone you may have stopped on the street where your location is.
example:
You: "Excuse me! Can you tell me where I am right now?"
Person: "Yes, of course! We're on Willow st. in the Willow Glen district."
"Could you tell me the street we're on right now? I'm a little lost." is a slightly more formal, but more polite way to ask your current location from a person you may have stopped on the street.
example:
You: "Could you tell me the street we're on right now? I'm a little lost."
Person: "No problem. We're on Lincoln st."
"I'm sorry to bother you, but can you tell me where we are right now?" is an even more polite way to ask your current location from a person you may have stopped on the street.
example:
You: "I'm sorry to bother you, but can you tell me where we are right now?"
Person: "Sure! We're on Hamilton Ave. in the downtown district."
"Excuse me! Can you tell me where I am right now?"
フォーマルに今自分がどこにいるのか尋ねる言い方です。道端にちょっと立ち止まって尋ねているかもしれません。
例:
You: "Excuse me! Can you tell me where I am right now?"
すみません、今ここがどこか教えてもらえませんか?
Person: "Yes, of course! We're on Willow st. in the Willow Glen district."
もちろん、ここはウィローグレン街のウィロー通りだよ。
"Could you tell me the street we're on right now? I'm a little lost."
これはちょっとフォーマルになります。丁寧に尋ねるのなら、道で止まって尋ねましょう。
例:
You: "Could you tell me the street we're on right now? I'm a little lost."
今いる通りの名前を教えてもらえませんか?ちょっと迷っちゃって。
Person: "No problem. We're on Lincoln st."
もちろん。ここはリンカーン通りだよ。
"I'm sorry to bother you, but can you tell me where we are right now?
"人に場所を尋ねるより丁寧な表現です。道に泊まって尋ねましょう。
例:
You: "I'm sorry to bother you, but can you tell me where we are right now?"
すみません。ここがどこか教えてもらえませんか?
Person: "Sure! We're on Hamilton Ave. in the downtown district."

"What's the address of this place?"
「この場所の住所は何ですか?」
"What's this place called?"
「この場所は何と呼ぶんですか。」
"Can you tell me where we are right now?"
「今の場所はどこか教えてくれませんか。」
The first two expressions would only really work if you were in a location that was famous, like you were at the Rogers Centre in Toronto but you didn't know that that was where you were. So, you could ask "What's this place called?" or "What's the address of this place?"
The last one works for any situation. You can even use if if you're in a neighbourhood or a random street without any tourist locations.
You can also ask for the street name or the nearest intersection of the location.
最初の2つの表現は、あなたがトロントのロジャースセンターにいたが、それがどこかわからなかった場合、このように有名な場所にいた場合にのみ機能します。
そのため、"What's this place called?" または、 "What's the address of this place?" と聞くことができます。
最後のものはどんな状況でも使うことができます。
あなたは、もしあなたが近所や観光地でない普通の通りにいる場合にも使用することができます。
また、通り名や最寄りの交差点を尋ねることもできます。
A) What's this area/ place called ?
*What's - what is
*Area -a region or part of a town, a country, or the world.
*Place -a particular position, point, or area in space; a location.
B) Where are we now ?
- in or to what place are we now
I hope this helps :-)

B) Where are we now ?

In the first sentence, you start with I am rather lost. You have used the adverb 'rather' to mean 'to a certain or significant extent or degree'. You can also say: I seem to be lost. Then you politely request: Please tell me where I am. In the second sentence, you may ask for the name of the place where you are; Please tell me what this place is called. If they tell you you the name of the place, you might have heard of it before and you might just recall it. The third sentence just leaves out the verb 'called' used in the second sentence but is exactly the same.
最初の文は、I am rather lost.から入ります。
ratherとは、ある程度、結構な(割合、量)で、と言う意味で、I seem to be lostということもできます。

三つ目は、二つ目に使われているcalled:呼ばれる というのを抜いたものですが、基本的に同じ意味です。
