Hi Tom
Yes, I think you understand the sentence correctly. (Without further context I can't be 100% sure, but that's what it sounds like.)
No, you cannot replace listened to with heard. The the idea of "authority" would be lost if you use heard, and then the sentence would just mean that she talks a lot and you can hear that.

Hi TOM,
In your sentence:
| Quote: |
| She is listened to a lot in the office. |
, the idea as you have suggested is that she is respected - her views are wirth listening to.
