I could be wrong, but I believe no versions of the Hellfire are wire
guided; all versions home in on a laser spot provided by a designator.

TOW, definitely that's what the "W" stands for.

That is correct - HELLFIRE does not use a trailing wire.

TOW = Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wire-guided

There are both laser and microwave radar seekers available
but no wire guided versions.

MR Trigat is a laser beam rider, no wire. LR Trigat is a fire-and-forget
IIR weapon, similar concept to Javelin.

And TOW's rocket exhaust doesn't come straight out the back, judging by
the pictures I've seen. Two nozzles, one on each side, firing outwards at
an angle of maybe as much as 30 degrees.
