No, the upper hose should never get hard and the coolant tank level should go down not up when the thermostat opens. You have a leaking head gasket which can be fatal if a hose ruptures.

Pull all 5 spark plugs and shine a small flashlight down the plug hole. A leaking cylinder will be nice and clean compared to the normal carbon deposits.
