It depends on what temperature each is facing and the respective volume of the "hot" and "cold" bodies of water. All things being equal, the hot water will obviously take longer to freeze than cold water.

This is true, in some specific, rigorously controlled circumstances, hotter water freezes faster than colder water. This is because the escape of heat of evaporation can cause the hotter water to lose its heat and crystalize immediately. It goes from being a liquid to solid rapidly. Take a cup of boiling water outside in Antarctica, throw it in the air, and it will hit the ground as ice. Take a second cup of 40 degree F water, do the same, and it will still be water when it hits the ground.

Hot water freezes faster then cold water. Because the cold is attracted to the heat

Yes it does, because hot water density is lower than the cold one so it freezes faster.
You can always try it, but remember to not use the glass bottle, because it will break.
