I think I understand the use of the imperative here, but if it's introduced in this lesson, should it not be discussed in the tips & notes section?

Ni + imperative = Let's <verb>. E.g. Ni iru! = Let's go!
I think when you understand that you can see why as a question it would be turned into "Shall we...?"
E.g. Ni dancu! Let's dance! Ĉu ni dancu? Let's dance? = Shall we dance?

As I understand (from having it explained to me here), the imperative in this case means something along the lines of "shall" or "be supposed to". So in this case, it's "Shall we kiss?" or "Should we kiss?".
