Neither is incorrect. Colloquially, most English speakers would use "talking to", which might be used in lieu of "speaking with". Also, most would say "on the phone" instead of "over the phone". Again, all of these are gramatically acceptable, and some preferences are regional.

Either is fine.
The Advance Learner's Dictionary treats them as equal.
Perhaps, 'to' tends to imply that you are doing most of the speaking, whereas 'with' implies that the amount of speaking by both parties is more equal.
Perhaps, some would say 'with' is more formal.
But honestly, apart from local tendencies to use one over the other, I don't think most native English speakers would notice the difference.

The second is the most proper way of saying it.

No, 1 is the correct usage.
