Inflict Wounds: “Make a melee spell attack against a creature you can reach. On a hit, the target takes 3d10 of necrotic damage.” Since it doesn’t, the attack happens as part of the spell itself. (Edited to call out a point: “Bonus action” has a specific meaning in 5E, and this ain’t it.

Spells can crit, and you roll all the damage dice twice. When you score a critical hit, you get to roll extra dice for the attack’s damage against the target. Roll all of the attack’s damage dice twice and add them together.

Can you hex and Eldritch blast on the same turn?

When you cast a bonus action spell (such as Hex) the only other spell you can cast that same turn is a cantrip with a casting time of one action (such as Eldritch Blast). Hex is intended to be cast right before Eldritch Blast during the same turn.

Does hex count for each Eldritch Blast?

If there’s ever any question about whether something you’re doing counts as an attack, the rule is simple: if you’re making an attack roll, you’re making an attack. So Hex would definitely be applied to each of the the beams created by Eldritch Blast or Scorching Ray, since each individual beam has an attack roll.
