Actually the first would be saying "I am hunger." To say "I am
hungry" would be "mo uan ies" (lit: I want {verb} eat {object}).
Sasxsek compounds are head last, but declarative sentences are
SVO.

"want" as a noun head with "eat" modifying it so that it refers
to a specific type of desire, that is the desire to eat.

Again, head last. Semantically though this could work as
"think-machine" or "machine-think-er". I suppose at this point
the selection of the head would be more emphatic.
BTW: It would be "dume" (=thinker), not "dumo" (=thought).
"-e" is the agentive noun. The best way to explain "-o" would
be to loosely relate it to the Mandarin "-zi (?)", and it could
correspond to several differnt endings of E-o like "-ado",
"-ido" or "-ajxo".
