[Star Wars] How does the Empire's leadership go about countering the hit-and-run attacks of the Alliance? It seems like the conceit of instant lightspeed jumps would make a smart guerrilla force pretty much un-catchable and unbeatable.

Like, is there any way to block them from jumping away, or infer their location after they've already retreated?

Well it sort of indicative that there's no more Empire... 

Generally however, since it's indeed nigh-impossible to anticipate and repel hit-and-run tactics, Imperial Navi does it's best to *make* them predictable, throwing in misinformation and ambushes on hyperspace lanes, as well as tracking rebel exit vectors and pursuing them to calculate the location of their bases. It's not perfect solution, but *sometimes* it works.
