How do you ask do you have any siblings?
I wouldn’t use “and” with a question beginning with, “do you have any…” I think the most common form is, “do you have any brothers or sisters?” followed by “do you have any siblings?” You can also ask whether someone is “an only child,” meaning s/he has no siblings.
