Not possible for now. Definitely not possible with standard API and menus.

There wasn't ever any hosts file (at least not on WM), it was in registry. HKLM\Tcpip\Hosts or something like that. If you unlock the device and get access to registry, you can do it there.

Anyone managed to look deeper into that? Could be helpful for blocking ads and unwanted comunication to MS...

Also, have in mind that the app you downloaded was free because of the ads. Most apps have a paid version that removes the ads.
