In terms of their taxonomic classification, the hippopotamus is a mammal, not an amphibian. However, as a description of their lifestyle, they could be called amphibian. They do spend quite a lot of their lives in the water. But a biologist, to avoid confusion, would call them an aquatic mammal, rather than an amphibian.
That's a good question, but no, Hippos are not amphibians. Hippos are semi-aquatic mammals. Hippos go in the water, and can even give birth there, but they are warm-blooded and give birth to baby hippos rather than laying eggs.
