The way you're doing it, command is a string; not an awk condition to be processed. Since the string $3 == hello is not an empty string and does not evaluate to "0", testing the string yields TRUE. The following should work but it gets a lot more complex if the operator you want varies from invocation to invocation rather than being a constant ==

Code:
field=3
value="hello" 

awk -F "^T" -v fn="$field" -v val="$value" '
{     if ( $fn == val )   {     print "hye"   } 
}' test
