There is no reason for तुम in the Hindi translation of this sentence. (There is also no need for “you” in the English translation)

Yes, that's what I thought. When I entered the simple form "जाओ और खाओ" then I was corrected by "आप जाओ और खाओ" which seem wrong to me, because "आप" would call for a formal verb, but maybe the imperative is the same for all personal pronouns.
No, it isn't (or at least, perhaps that's colloquially used, like आप ... हो, but it isn't 'correct') - it should be आप जाइए और खाइए, or आप जाइएगा और खाइएगा।
आप can still be dropped I believe, since it (including it's politeness/formality) is implied by the ending as you say.
It is used for specificity. Go and eat can be said to a group which YOU go and eat would single 1 person out.
"चलू" should be accepted as well as "जाओ" here - it's far more natural in speech.
