To my ear, the speaker sound like робЕти Is that simply the way it is in Ukrainian, or am I hearing incorrectly? Is every stressed и pronounced /e/ ?

Indeed, Ukrainian /ɪ/ is somewhat in-between [ɪ] and [e]. Wikipedia says that it can be transcribed as [e̠], [ë], [ɪ̞] or [ɘ̟] in precise transcription.

The Ukrainian vowel и is pronounced like the letter i in English words such as hit, kiss, sin, tin, list, etc.

Yes. робити is infinitive for "to do" and not conjugated. There is no implication of "you" in this one.
