Yes, when a sugar cube dissolves in hot water, it is a form of simple diffusion. The sugar molecules move from an area of higher concentration (sugar cube) to an area of lower concentration (water) until equilibrium is reached.
No, sugar forms a solution when mixed with water.
The sugar particle will diffuse from an area of higher concentration (inside the tubing) to an area of lower concentration (outside the tubing) until equilibrium is reached. Water molecules will also move into the tubing to balance the concentration gradient as the sugar particles diffuse out.
Solute
When sugar and water are mixed, the sugar dissolves in the water, therefore water is the solvent and sugar is the solute.

Sugar water
Water with sugar mixed in.
The sugar disinigrates and is part of the water
When hot and cold water are mixed together, the water reaches a temperature that is between the initial temperatures of the hot and cold water. This is due to the principle of thermal equilibrium, which states that heat energy will transfer from the hotter substance to the cooler substance until they reach the same temperature.
A mixture because the sugar is mixed in the water
solvent
Equilibrium solubility is how much of a certain solute is in solution when the system has reached equilibrium. For example, when something like silver chloride (AgCl) is placed in water, none of it goes into solution. But given some time, an equilibrium will be reached where a small amount of AgCl is in solution and is in equilibrium with the insoluble AgCl.
Sugar dissolves in water to form a homogeneous solution.
Equilibrium in diffusion and osmosis is reached when there is a balanced distribution of particles or solutes across a membrane, resulting in no net movement of particles. In diffusion, equilibrium is reached when there is an equal concentration of particles on both sides of the membrane. In osmosis, equilibrium is reached when the water concentration is the same on both sides of the membrane.
