The most similar phrase in English seems to me "what's that?" (I'm not native in English and could be wrong). Why is "wie" used here?

As a side question, is there any (commonly used) expression using "was" to mean the listener did not catch what the other was saying?
Why is "Wie" used in "Wie bitte"? - German Language Stack Exchange
1 I've started learning German only recently and as far as I know Wie is how in English and Was is what. However, I have noticed that sometimes it says Wie where it would be more logical to say Was. For example, in my book it says "Wie ist deine Adresse?" Can anyone explain what types of questions use Wie and what types use Was?
