No and no.
a. None of the Airport Express free shuttle stops nearby HI Express. Your best alternative is MTR all the way (Airport > (Airport Express) > Hong Kong Station > (Walk) > Central Station > (Hong Kong Line) > Causeway Bay Station) and walk to the hotel.
In the alternative, you can also take Citybus Cityflyer Route A11 all the way to Causeway Bay.
The walking distance is the similar for both method.
b. From Central to Causeway Bay, it passes through 3 MTR stations. It is "walk-able", but nowhere near the term "walking distance".

What kind of food do you have in mind? And what did you do last time?

Malls unfortunately. Causeway Bay has been changed dramatically to a place mostly for shopping (especially to tourists).

No. The climate won't change until Mid-Autumn Festival has passed.
