They are all fine. 1 and 2 don't mean the same thing at all. 3 and 4 mean the same thing.

Thanks.

Can we say ''it is nice to hear Michael to do his homework'' instead of 'iIt is nice to hear Michael doing his homework''?

No, that's not grammatical.
In #1, you heard sounds, words, or noises of some sort that show he's doing his homework. Perhaps he is practicing for his speech class.
In #2, you have obtained information that the homework is now complete.

It's nice to hear that Michael is doing his homework. -- This might suggest that there was a period in the past when Michael was not doing his homework regularly, and now you have information that he is now routinely doing his homework.
