    You may get some after the temperatures cool down. Even with watering, that temperature is way too high to set fruit. The only thing to do here will be to keep them healthy until the temperatures cool some. You may see some fruit still.

    It will be best in the future to get the tomatoes out as soon as you can for the best harvest. This article will give you some good information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/tomato/growing-tomatoes-guide.htm

    Did you use a soil that has slow release nitrogen pellets or slow release in any form? This is the most common cause for this. You may have to supplement phosphorus and potassium to offset for the amount of nitrogen in the soil.

    There are many "bloom boosters" on the market, and any will work as long as it does not have much nitrogen.

    Can you include a photo? This can be a bit of an issue if it is the stem end. The bottom end is a different problem and very easy to correct. The top rotting can be many different things depending on how the damage appears.

    If you can include a photo I will be able to better assist you.

    There are quite a few issues that can cause this. It is not likely a big issue since it is producing something. This article will help you to know what tomatoes need: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/tomato/growing-tomatoes-guide.htm

    That would be because of heat. If you live in an area that just got a heat spell than your blooms closed up in heat causing them to die.
