This sentence uses "to contract" correctly. To "contract (a disease)" is to be infected with a disease, and become ill. In his email, Bob uses this construction to talk about "contracting a computer virus". Here's another example: "Thousands of people contract HIV every day".
This is a good choice. Something which is "contracted" has been "made shorter or smaller", or "reduced". We often talk about the "contracted form" of certain words. For example: "Roberto thinks that "weren't" is the contracted form of 'I am". He's not very good at English!
This sentence is correct. Here, "contract" is used as a noun to describe an official document representing an agreement between two or more parties. Another example: "I don't have a contract for my job because I'm an illegal immigrant and I work on the black market". To "draw up" a contract is to "write" it.
This is not a good choice. It would make more sense to say "you look very tense or stressed today".
