As the earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours, if the moon stood still then the moon will be overhead and 'underfoot' once in every 24 hours giving (in most places) 2 high and 2 low tides a day, but as the moon is also orbiting in the same direction as the earth revolves it actually takes about 24 hours and 50 minutes for the moon to be in the same place overhead. So the period from one high tide to the next is about 12 hours 25 minutes.

What line of latitude always receives direct sunlight and would be the hottest place on earth if only latitude were considered when determining climate?
There's no place on Earth that always receives direct sunlight. The closest to it would be the Equator, where the sun goes from overhead to 23 degrees one way to overhead to 23 degrees the other way and back to overhead, in the course of a year. And you're right ... if latitude were the only component of climate, then the hottest would be all along the equator.
