Both are valid sentences, but they mean different things:
- "The girl looked angrily to us": angrily modifies the verb looked. In other words, the girl looked in your direction, and something about the way in which she did so suggested anger on her part.
- "The girl looked angry to us": angry modifies the noun girl. You've come to the conclusion based on her appearance that she's angry, but you're not describing any action that she's taken.
Also note that angrily is an adverb and angry is an adjective.

I don't think there's a need to change to to at in the first sentence. Consider to as a poetic short form of towards.

Yes, it's possible (like 'looking to the left' or towards somebody else), but when a look is given in your direction, the natural feeling is they look at you (us here) not just direct their look towards you.
