Having written this, I've just noticed Barrie's answer. By far the easiest thing to do is to learn the constructions, but they can be analysed (as Bill Franke asked in a comment). Whether it's actually worth the effort may be a moot point.
Let's deal with the second sentence first, because that's easier.
The second sentence uses the phrasal verb look forward. While this idiomatic verb means anticipate, it behaves grammatically and requires a preposition to indicate the indirect object — what you are looking at, or in this case, looking forward to (it's "to" because it's concerned with time).
Thus look forward requires to as a preposition and a noun or noun phrase. See is a verb and therefore not right; seeing is a gerund behaving as a noun and is therefore the right form to use.
I look forward to seeing you.
The first sentence has a wrinkle or two. Want is not a simple verb!
Where a verb is followed by a second verb, that second verb is always in an infinitive form. Because want is not a modal verb (such as do or can) that infinitive form uses to.
I can have it [can is never followed by a to infinitive]
I want to have it [want is followed by a to infinitive]
Want can also be followed by a noun, or noun phrase, or a gerund which acts as a noun; that is, it can be an ordinary transitive verb.
I want an apple
That last cake wants eating
In this case, seeing you is not a noun phrase or gerund, it's a present participle and thus ungrammatical. Therefore the next word must be an infinitive form of the verb (see) and because of that it needs to.
I want to see you.
The wrinkle is knowing that seeing presented as a choice here is a present participle and not a gerund like the "look forward" sentence. The clue is that it has its own object, you, which conflicts with the use of want. Want fundamentally indicates a need, a lack, which must be satisfied. As such, it can only have a single object, the one thing which satisfies that need, so you can't use seeing you. Thus you must use see and that must be a to infinitive.
The best way to structure this statement will not only depend on the goal of the statement itself, but also on the body of text which surrounds it. In all cases, you must indicate who "they" or "them" are, either in this statement or another. Since here, I assume you are referring to a group of individuals, such must be identified in close proximity.
To directly answer your question, "them's" and 'each's" are not possessive forms, so no.
One suggestion might be:
What are the objections of each individual?
or
What are the objections of each? (Depending on how the individual was defined in the preceding text)

You can use either "look forward" or "look downward" in English but the instruction "look forward and downward" is a little confusing because the directions are considered somewhat different from each other.
Another complicating factor is the idiom, "forward and upward" which isn't directly related to physical directions. If you were to say "forward and downward" many people would associate the phrase with the idiom and assume you were invoking some form of wordplay.
The alternative you mention in the comments is much more clear:
This is a relatively common expression and means exactly what you want it to mean. You can also omit "down":
Most English speakers will look slightly ahead of themselves and then scan downward looking for the intended object.
