I recently bumped in to someone who I knew but haven't saw in a few years. They quite enthusiastically said 'hello you!' to me when they spotted me before stopping and speaking for a bit. In this context, is saying 'hello you!' affectionate, or a sign that they had forgotten my name?

It sounds like they were happy to see you in particular - at least that's how I'd use that turn of phrase. Personally I tend to take any enthusiasm that people show me at face value because I just feel like I'm bound to be happier that way.

Its a affecionate. It denotes a certain level of familiarity, intimacy even. Its a good thing

It means kind of a "omg I can't believe it's YOU!" in a nice affectionate way. They weren't expecting to see you so they were surprised but pleased
