Do i assume correctly, if i say that the damage code should be (Force)+4P AP: half impact armor?
Maybe i should have added "SR4"?

Yup. That is correct. Any poor bugger that tries to attack the critter also faces damage equal to magic from the aura. They get you coming and going.
Hmmm...suddenly the Hellhound is far mor dangerous than the Barghest. ^^
Not really. Hell Hounds have Elemental Attack not Energy Aura. Elemental Attack does (Magic)P and is an exotic weapon ranged attack.
Really? I thought to remember a story where adult hellhounds ignite to protect the offspring. Maybe i am confusing it with another critter.

I think you are assuming that anything in a story has any actual correlation to the game rules.
You can check yourself though. The hellhound for SR5 is on pg 405 of the core book, while the hellhound for 4th ed is on pg 300 of SR4A. Neither entry contains any reference Elemental Aura though.
Well, given that Hellhounds have a high resistance to fire, one could see them igniting materials around the pups to protect them from a predator that wasn't immune to fire.
