In words like "slope", the "e" at the end indicates that the "o" is long, whereas in "slop" it would be short. In the case of words like "slope", the "e" itself is not pronounced at all. A short vowel is usually, but not always, followed by a consonant. There are some words that end in a short vowel. There is no general rule for this. The vowel "o" at the end of a word is long. In words that derive from Latin, the vowel "i" at the end is long. The vowel "u" at the end of a word is long, examples being "zebu" and "malibu". Otherwise in English there is no indication in the spelling as to whether a vowel is long or short; it is necessary to learn the correct pronunciation for each word.
Some words that end in "tion" include: nation, information, question, and explanation.

No, the word "cookie" does not have a short "e" sound. It is pronounced with a long "oo" sound like "koo-kee."

The A has a short a sound, as in pass and task. (the short A says ah in some words, but not in short words such as cab, am, an, and mass)
There are compound words such as paymaster that have both a long A and a short A. Also some words with a short A plus a long A formed by a silent E, such as activate and accelerate. Other words that have both a long and short A: ashtray (short/long) playback (long/short)
The U has an unstressed schwa sound (but is the same sound as the short U in such and suck) and the E has a short E sound. The schwa-U is seen in buffoon and summation.
