No a tracert(traceroute) will not show the geographical it originated from. It will show you all the different 'hops' it took from origination to destination. Then you do a search on the originating IP to find more information. It would be a two step process. But just a tracert will not give you everything you want but it will get you half the information.
The Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.
