Is it considered rude to ask another person of their emotional state in specifics?

Look at the context. It's someone you don't know all that well, or someone who has a history of making hostile comments. If you haven't had to deal with hostile people who will do anything and everything to try and push your buttons, then count yourself lucky.
That being said, I think perhaps the most reasonable way to respond is to say "why do you ask?"
