Form a 'V' handshape with your dominant hand by extending your index and middle fingers and spreading them apart. Turn your palm so it faces inward toward you. Point your index and middle fingers directly toward your own eyes, bringing the hand slightly closer to your face to emphasize the action of someone directing their gaze at you.
Sign 'HEY' to get their attention, then use the 'look at me' sign by pointing the 'V' handshape toward your own eyes with a firm facial expression.
Use an excited, proud facial expression while bringing the 'V' handshape toward your face to sign 'look at me,' followed by the sign for 'FINISH' to show you accomplished your goal.
Sign 'EVERYONE', then use the 'look at me' sign. Make sure to maintain eye contact with your audience to naturally reinforce the request for their attention.

Not inherently, but its tone depends heavily on your facial expression. If you use a stern face and a sharp, quick movement, it acts as a strict command. With a soft expression and gentle movement, it simply means 'please direct your attention here.'
No, you should never actually poke or touch your eyes. Bring the 'V' handshape close to your face, leaving a few inches of comfortable space between your fingertips and your eyes.
The standard sign for 'look' usually points outward, directing someone's attention to an object or person away from you. 'Look at me' reverses that exact motion, pointing the 'V' fingers inward toward your own eyes to show the gaze coming back to you.
