Do you pump oxygen into a tire?

If you are using a regular pump that draws its air from the surrounding atmosphere, then yes you will be pumping oxygen(as well as a mix of other gases) into the tire. Oxygen is corrosive and flammable, and pumping pure O2 into your tires is a terrible idea. Plain air is about 75% nitrogen, which is fairly inert, and this is the preferred gas for pumping tires, as it is also the cheapest.

Why does the bottom of a tire pump feel hot when you pump air in the tire but when air is released the valve stem feels cool?

Because when you compress a gas like airit gets warm - which is what happens to the pump. And when a gas like air is allowed to expand, which is what happens when you let it out of the tire, it cools off - which is what happens to the valve.
