They are all correct. Bien hecho!
To answer your question. There are 2 verbs in Spanish that mean "to be." The question "¿Cómo estás?"(with estar) will get your health = good, bad, etc. The question "Cómo eres?" (with ser) will get what you ARE like = tall, thin, blonde, etc.

Excellent point about ser/estar in question #2. I should have caught that.
Your translations are mostly correct! However, there are a couple of small corrections:
1. ¿De dónde eres?
Translation: Where are you from?
Your translation is correct.
2. ¿Cómo eres?
Translation: What are you like? (What is this asking?)
Correction: The correct translation is "What are you like?" This question is asking about your personality or characteristics.
3. ¿Qué clases tienes?
Translation: What classes do you have?
Your translation is correct.
4. ¿Qué vas a hacer la fin de semana?
Translation: What are you going to do this weekend?
Correction: The word "la" should be "este" in Spanish to mean "this" instead of "the." So, the corrected translation is "What are you going to do this weekend?"

Your translation is correct.
