It is not correct. You can distinguish such questions in the same way you would in English, I expect... depending on context.

It is unnecessary. There is no 吗 because it is not strictly needed in the question here. It can also convey, as in this case, excitement.

What about using 啊 to convey excitement or emotion instead of an actual question word like 吗?I know that Duo teaches about the 啊 character in a later skill. Would that be more natural for a native speaker to say? 你明天来看我啊!

It can, but the first thing I thought of when I read that sentence was surprise, pleasant or not.

It is acceptable but the given translation is more accurate.
见我 is more what a teacher says to a student, or writes at the end of his or her essay, for example, so it wouldn't be appropriate here.

This seems to be a recurring question, so I will endeavour to answer it here:
Why is there no 吗 in the question?
It is unnecessary. There is no 吗 because it is not strictly needed in the question here. It can also convey, as in this case, excitement.
When I see it, the first thing that comes to mind is that the speaker is excited for whoever is going to visit tomorrow, for example. It can also, as has been pointed out, be a rhetorical question, but that is just one situation where this can be used.
