In fact it is definitely closer to "Hey". 喂 is informal at best, and rude depend on your tone. Try to say 喂 with a bit more force, and you sound like a thug looking for trouble.

Hello Chinese is an app that I find really helpful. At this point I use Duo mainly to add to what I learn there and on Memrise. It's gotten better since they've added the tips in the app, but I still feel a bit lost in many of the exercises unfortunately.
Maybe search for Chinese grammar wiki. Should have a url like: https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/

I don't know if this is just Taiwan, but I've heard 喂 pronounced as wéi, Duo seems to pronounce it with the accent going in the other direction...

I wouldn't say that, only because "Hello?" can mean different things depending on the context in which it's used. For learning purposes, I think the only thing that indicates it's in the context of a phone conversation is the category.
