へと is used when you are directing your audience's attention to the content that comes after the と for emphasis. 「やや強意の副詞的表現に属することを表す」
Example:
透【す】き通【とお】るような青【あお】空【ぞら】の中【なか】へと白【しろ】いボールが吸【す】い込まれていく
The white ball disappeared into the crystal clear blue sky
透き通るような青空の中 へ 白いボールが吸い込まれていく
Without the と it is simply a statement of fact.

は is the topic particle and can be used in combination with a variety of particles. When combined with the subject particle が or the object particle を, は usually replaces が or を. With all other particles, it goes after the particle. (In fact, を＋は may also turn into をば, see Dono's comment.) In your example sentence, it makes ゴルフ大会へ "to the golf tournament" ...

I expect to see/hear「税率が10パーセントへと下がる」on newspaper or TV news. I'd say「税率が10パーセントに下がる」in normal conversation. (I'm not sure if we say「税率が10パーセントへ下がる」.)

ところで、今週末のゴルフ大会へは行くんですか。
By the way, as for this weekend's golf tournament, are you going ?
Which would be translated in "natural" ...

The point is that あなたに・あなたへ are adverbial, and modify a verb (or a whole clause), but あなたへの is adjectival, and modifies a noun. You should see it as ((あなたへ)の)私の愛 - that is, への is not really a double-particle, but rather の is joining onto the end of the adverbial phrase あなたへ, in order to allow it to modify the noun phrase 私の愛. And so:
あなたに私の愛 is an ...

In answer to your first question:
「に」 can also be used (at times) where you are receiving something from someone else. Perhaps the user you mentioned was directing you to「へ」as a way to avoid that possible meaning?
For example, what if「あなたに私{わたし}の愛{あい}」were read as: "my love from you"? (Would that make sense?) An example of this type of 「に」usage can be ...
