Shouldn't it be 'Ow! That hurts!', not 'Ow! That hurt!'? 'Hurt' should be in the third person singular form, right?

They are both correct. That hurts is present tense. That hurt is past tense. Even if the past was one second ago. It is one of many irregular verbs that does not take -ed in past tense.

Yes you’re correct. To say “ow, that hurt” refers to
The past tense, vs “ow that hurts” (hurts referring to “it hurts”)
