Question

Answer 1

You can check battery temperature and battery health:

private BroadcastReceiver mBatInfoReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent intent) {
        int temperature = intent.getIntExtra(BatteryManager.EXTRA_TEMPERATURE, 0);
        int health = intent.getIntExtra(BatteryManager.EXTRA_HEALTH, 0);
        Log.v("MainActivity", "temperature " + temperature);
        Log.v("MainActivity", "health " + health);
    }
};

In onCreate:

this.registerReceiver(this.mBatInfoReceiver,
            new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED));

On Android devices, we can get BATTERY_HEALTH_OVERHEAT when the device's overheating.

Answer 2

There is no temperature API in Google Glass that you can access.

I haven't used Glass in a while so maybe it's changed, but this was a built in feature a while back. If you it got too hot you'd receive a warning at the OS level.
