No. “I look forward to hearing from you” is the right way to say it. “To hear from you is incorrect”. “hearing from you” is a gerund phrase and the object of the verb “look”.

No, if you want correct English, you’d have to say “I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.”

“Look forward” requires a noun object. Try replacing things with a pronoun and seeing if it works. “I look forward to that.”
“Hear” is a verb. “Hearing” in this case is a gerund, which means the present participle of the verb acting as a noun.

it’s “hearing from” because it’s in future tense.
