No, the phrase itself in English was popularized by the movie. Obviously, though "hasta la vista" is a Spanish idiom meaning "see you later." It wasn't used widely in English before the movie came out, and the "baby" part was definitely added by the movie.

No, Have you ever heard "I see you later baby" in English with the same meaning used in the movie "Terminator 2"? Don't think so.

It was one of the first phrases I ever learned in grade school Spanish (back in prehistoric times).

Of course, it is grammatically correct sans the Baby.

Technically it is Spanish, though it is gramatically incorrect. I think that it would have been corrected before it was glorified, so I'd say that the answer is no.
