If they don't give you a spoon, they are implicitly saying "we expect you to drink it."
And yes, many times ramen is served steaming hot in Japan, so hot that it can burn your mouth! So it stays hot for quite a while when you are eating it, though usually by the time you've eaten the noodles it has cooled enough that you can pick up the bowl by the edges (the base of the bowl might still be too hot to hold, though!)
