Seemingly and seeming

"...in an effort to replace seemingly incorrect forms with correct
ones.

Should this be seemingly or seeming?

Are the words the same,
but different forms (adverb & adjective repsectively)?

If seemingly
is an adverb as my dictionary states, then why is it being used as an adjective
in the topic sentence?

Thanks
