Why is 急いで in the て-form?
Here, 急いで is the て-form of 急ぐ and it links to the next verb, 書く.

- to write while hurrying
- to write in a hurry
The て-form often connects actions or describes the manner in which something is done. In this sentence, it tells you how the writing is being done.
Why is it 急いで書く instead of 速く書く?
Both can relate to speed, but the nuance is different:

- 速く書く = write quickly/fast
急いで suggests rushing, which fits well with the idea of making mistakes.
