By the way, my Israeli husband says אנו is too formal and shouldn't be used in everyday language.
Yeah, I was about to comment and everything loaded and... tablets. But yeah אנו is rare, even in old texts.

Is there a grammatical reason as to why: “האם הם עושים את זה או האם אנחנו עושים את זה?“ was not accepted, or is it correct? In case it is correct, does it sound weird or overly posh?
Is האם really required? I was previously taught otherwise, but got marked wrong for ommitting it here
No, from my understand ha-im is usually used when the sentence could be confused as to whether it is a question or a statement. For example, do you like chocolate and you like chocolate are equivalent in Hebrew but ha-im can be used to distinguish the question from the statement.
