Yep, it looks like a very small tomato .

Fear not, you can grow tomatoes in extreme heat. Here's two quick tips.

First, there are now varieties that are created to be heat tolerant. Seed packs ought to have some type of message on them.

Second, but it might take a bit of work. Find a place where the plants only get morning sun. You mentioned container plants for the determinants. Put the container outdoors in the morning and then then bring it indoors, allowing it to get cool sometime in the afternoon. Repeat and grow.

I know it won't work for most people who spend the day out at work. Just a suggestion.
