'I feel for you' = I have sympathy for what you are feeling (sadness, mourning, etc.)
I feel you' = I can touch you (with my fingers, for example)

More context might provide more differences.

When someone says that they are disappointed with a person's action, can I say 'I feel you' to mean that I understand how they feel?

There is another urban usage about “feel”. “Do you feel me?” has nothing to do with touching someone. It means, “do you understand where I am coming from?”

I am feeling you – is to say “ I completely see or understand you”.

"I'm hearing you" sounds very familiar to me. I've never come across "feeling", but it makes as much sens

Yeah, man, I feel ya.

It's definitely on the "slang" side of the usage spectrum.
