Does the first t in double t words in Swedish sound like h in English? Like in horse.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't, you just hold out the t sound so it sounds more like kat-ten.

Swedish lacks the distinction between ”the cat drinks water” and ”the cat is drinking water”, so when you translate into Swedish you don’t use the ”is”-construction at all, it simply doesn’t exist. Both are translated as: katten dricker vatten.

Är = is/are in the sense of being, existing.
"Is drinking", "are eating" etc. still translate to dricker and äter.
