Hot food - אוכל חם
The hot food - האוכל החם
The food is hot - האוכל חם
Is the food hot - האם האוכל חם?

Yes. When a noun + adjective phrase is definite in Hebrew, both the noun and the adjective get a ה.
Yes it has many similarities to German and English. But The hot food - "Den varma maten"
Hot food - "varm mat"

That's interesting! I thought Swedish would be very similar to German and other Germanic languages, so this is a surprise to me.
Constant error in Duolingo answers: the question mark's at the wrong end of the sentence - the beginning instead of the end. As above and here: האם האוכל חם? Diolch
Looking at my own comment it may be a formatting issue to do with mixing R-L Hebrew script with L-R Latin script! WhatsApp's abominable for this

It is correct with or without the word האם.
In writing, the question mark tells you that it's a question, and in speech your tone of voice should indicate that it's a question, with or without the word האם.
After that word is taught sufficiently, it is not used much.

I put את before האוכל because I thought it was the definitive form. Why was it marked wrong?

Because את is used only before a definite direct object. There is no object in this sentence.

Because that would make no sense. זה means "this", so what you wrote would mean something like: "this is the food is hot"
