can these be used for electric wall heaters

PLEASE DO NOT GUESS! If you exceed the current rating of the plug you risk it overheating and, ultimately, starting a fire. Electrical power is essentially P in Watts) = I (current in amps) x V (voltage in volts). Given the UK supply is nominally 230VAC and the current capacity of this smartplug is quoted as 13A, the MAXIMUM power rating for the smartplug should be: 13 x 230 = 2,990W = 2.99KW. [This simple calculation excludes complications such as power factor on inductive or capacitive loads as household heating elements are essentially resistive loads having a power factor of ~1.] => a 1KW electric fire should be OK. Please, people, do NOT guess and, if you don't know for certain, then simply don't comment - it's safer that way - because, if you get this stuff wrong it can be life-affecting!

Would this support a hot tub ?

No, the weight of a hot tub would be far too much to be supported by the plug as it's only made of plastic, especially if the tub had water in it. You'll need a concrete base instead.

Do I need to have the tapo app for daily use or can I just download the app to install and then delete the app and use it with Alexa?

You definitely don't need the app for daily use, no. Once you've set the plugs up and added them to Alexa or Google Home (or home assistant) then you can uninstall the app from your phone and just use voice control e.g. "turn on office plug". Schedules also work without your phone once you have set them up whether they are set up in the Tapo app or in Alexa/Google Home/home assistant.

Is it possible to program a 7 day schedule with varying start and end times per day?

Yes, the app allows detailed scheduling to turn the socket on or off: different times each day and even using an offset from sunrise and sunset. Each on or off is independent so it is also possible to setup a number of times during the day where, for example, the socket will turn off even if there was no on event prior to it. This is useful if you will be manually turning the socket on (using the button on the side) and want to ensure it always turns off at a specific time - such as Xmas lights being turned on when you get home and then the schedule will ensure they are always turned off at 11pm.
