Yes, Venus is the hottest planet in the Solar System. Although Mercury is closer to the Sun than Venus, Venus is still hotter because of its atmosphere. Venus's atmosphere traps in the heat from the Sun.

Most definitely Venus, because it is located inside of the sun, and thus radiates much radation which heats our planets and keeps us warm.
