I don't really understand how to use "what's up". I guess you use for not only greetings but also ask what happened. Is this correct?

Yeah, it's used as a greeting (very informal).
It's also used to mean, "What is going on?"
You could ask this if you see that someone seems upset, or happy, or in any situation where you want to know what the situation is.
It is informal and slang.
