Does it hurt to drive your 1999 ford expedition with gear shift indicator misaligned?

No. The cable that connects the gear shift to the indicator may either be broken or requires adjustment.
As long as the vehicle goes into the proper gear when selected with the gearshift you should have no problems.
The inidcator is more of a nice to have tool than anything. I'd compare it the chime when you leave your keys in or the dome light when you leave to door open. Both are nice to have but can be eliminatd with zeo impact to the vehicles operability.

What is wrong with the gear shift indicator when it is misaligned on a 1999 ford expedition it points to R while in P etc?
There generally is a small attachment spring/cam that your gear selector and indicator are connected with and most likely this is stretched out or cracked. there is also an adjuster on the right hand side of the steering wheel (looks like a little roll wheel under the dash) you can try to adjust it from there but most of the time the bracket that holds it is broken.
