They’re both “chili” in the US, “chilli” in the UK, and “chile” in Latin America. The dish “chili” or “chile” or “chilli” is named for the pepper and the different spellings are what different cultures have landed on. In all three cultures, using the same spelling for the pepper and the dish is correct.

Chile is pronounced “Chee leh”. Tho.
No, add chile to your chili when you’re hot. The chile will cause you to sweat, which will help you lower your body temperature.
The commonwealth spelling of “chilli” bothers me way more than it should.
