For the running HOT: have you checked your coolant level/ checked your cooling system? You may also have an air bubble in your cooling system. Maybe try flushing your radiator too?
The sluggish feeling...sorry, I got nothin'
Anyone else have any ideas?

I don't know for sure but things to check would be
-coolant/radiator.
-waterpump
-throttle body(could be super dirty inside)
-maybe O2 sensors?
other than that I don't what to tell yea. It sounds very strange. just check all your fluids and normal stuff.
