It has neither. The final E is silent. The first E is R-controlled in that it makes two sounds when combined with the R. This is the caret I or "ear" sound.

So "here" sounds the same as "hear."

No, the word "here" only has a short E vowel sound. It is pronounced with a single vowel sound in most English accents. The 'e' in 'here' is pronounced as /ɪər/.

Where is the long vowel in baby?

The "A" for sure. In the first syllable, you have "BA" (rhymes with day). You know you have a long vowel because it says its name. In this case, the letter A in "baby" is a long vowel sound. (If it were a short vowel sound, it would not be pronounced like its name-- bat, for example, has a short vowel sound.) Sometimes, a letter like Y will have a vowel sound (in this case, it sounds like the E in the word "me"), but usually, a long vowel refers to the sound made by the letters A, E, I, O, and U. Here are examples of long vowels: Bake (long a); Me (long E); Time (long I); Joke (long O); and Tune (long U).
