Answer 1

Not sure what you're using MailSettings::get('abc@gmail.com') for, but you can remove that line and simply pass in the email address:

Mail::sendTo('abc@gmail.com', 'contact::form', $data);

Answer 2

Did you configure the mail system correctly to send mail?

What do you need the mail settings info for? Remove that line. I believe that email will automatically be used unless you specify it in the Mail function.

I believe you need to add the Mail class (maybe input) to your component like so:

use Mail;
use Input;
