For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.There is no single name for the process of answering one question with another or for the person who does so. However, here's a variety of possibilities for you to consider:-
counter-question(er), quasi-answer(er), verbal tennis(-player), query logic(ian), the Socratic approach (a Socrates). Socrates used questions to force his students to seek further questions. Finally, there's aporia, which is a process in logic/rhetoric whereby a speaker reveals doubt...ie may be asking a question. Perhaps you'd care to pick one of these?
