Some Jews believe this, others do not. There are about 14 million Jews in the world today, representing about 14 million different beliefs about G-d.
However, most Jews do not consider "Love" to be as central an attribute of God as Christians do. When describing God, Jews typically use the phrase "El Rahum v'Hanun" which translates to "A Merciful and Compassionate God".

Yes. However, Orthodox Judaism teaches that love isn't the often-quickly-extinguished type which we call infatuation or lust. Rather, when love is founded upon mutual beliefs and general goals, and nurtured with patience and forgiveness, it grows over time.

Just a note on the above: a common metaphor that Orthodox Jews use is that "Hollywood-Style Love" is like a stove-burner on its high setting. Sure, there is powerful allure, but it is prone to fights, disinterest, and only superficial attraction. As a result, these relations often end very quickly. "Jewish Love" is like a fire on low burn. It is based on friendship, cordiality, and the creation of a partnership. As a result, such people in love continue to become more in love with each other as the relationship progresses.
