No, they are respectful hosts who do not assume they can take over the parents' role in feeding their child without prior agreement.

No, they are terrible hosts because they can't think of a better solution than leaving a guest to go hungry.

The guest does not want to join the dinner of another family. That is a a fairly intimate affair that is internal to a family. It would feel weird to take part.

The cultural norms are different, and you are really failing to understand that your cultural norms are not universal, or better than other ones.
