He was speaking 'spammer' Juliiusestella. Now he is gone. He'll have to find somewhere else to spam.

'I am waiting you' is incorrect.
'I am waiting for you' is the correct form.

I am waiting to you is wrong. You can't "wait to you". But you can certainly say: The waitress is waiting on a group of customers. (which means the waitress is serving a group of customers).

I am waiting for you is correct. It means somebody is waiting for someone else.

You don't use anyways in proper english at all. So try not to use it in all situations. :)

As Zeuslee says, the correct form is always 'anyway'.
Sometimes 'anyways' is used colloquially, but this is slang similar to 'gotta', 'gonna', etc.
