The second sentence has no subject in the original Swedish. However, it seems to mean
_I am_ curious about how the investigation is going.

Ian:

In Swedish I am (jag är) and you are (du är) can't be differentiated by the verb inflection.
However since it was a question I guees it means "Are you curious...?", but the original lacks the pronoun.
About :
förväntanfull = full of expectation.
är förväntanfull och hoppas = I am expectant and hope

Pirulito:

jag är så van vid den uttryck "as soon as possible" att den översättning var automatisk .
Tack.

I am expectant could mean that I am pregnant. So why not change it to something like expecting to hear from you.

I am awaiting may work better.

What do you think, David?

Hi Lilly,
It's as I feared. As you can see, David didn't like that "expectant" by itself there either...
I guess to make it into natural English with the minimum change to the original meaning, we'll have to change it to
I'm waiting expectantly, and....
The meaning is the same, of course, because when you are expectant, you are waiting!

Also, I understand from your excellent explanation that grammatically it is unclear whether the second line is a question or an inquiry, but in this context, it sure sounds to me like an inquiry; like the writer is curious to know how the investigation is going...
Don't you agree?

Ok guys.
Done!

About the second line...I'm not sure about that Ian. Swedish don't usually use question marks if it is not clear that it is really a question. Maybe we can ask some Swedish expert to help on this.
Pia?

Pia, what do you think?

Should it be the way it is (a question) or
"I am curious about....

Lilly,
I think that this is good as it is, there is no "I" in the source. ...but sure the meaning is that he/she is curious.

Do I answered your question now?

Now, Ian...
Does that throw any light?

Yup, I think we can validate it as it is now, with a little comment under it, to explain the probable meaning of the second sentence as per Pia's explanation!
