[5jj]

1) Should I say "I have lived in Chicago for many years" or "I have been living in Chicago for many years" if I am still living in Chicago now?

Both are possible. In this particular sentence, there is not a great deal of difference between them.

2) Does "I am living in Chicago" implies that it is momentary, and I will move elsewhere soon?

It does suggest that your stay is not permanent, but not necessarily that it is short and/or will end soon.
