안녕하세요?  
   
 Wow, I have nearly forgotten all my Korean!  It's funny how quickly you can forget things if you don't use them everyday...

 Which literally means "Are you in peace?", but in conversation means "How are you?".

Can you shorten this and just say "안녕"?  Like saying "Hi"?

Yes, you can.  I've done it in with people I know VERY well.  Generally though its considered non-standard.
