Force String Formats and Check content MS Forms
Jakson_Rakoy if your users are all internal (and therefore you've switched on the "Only people in my organisation can respond" setting) then you don't need to ask them for their email address because Forms & Office 365 know who they are. So the email address will always be correct and can be used in a flow.
If your users are potentially external and you have the "anyone with a link can respond" setting then there is no way you can stop users entering incorrect email addresses. There is no "prevent numptiness" setting.
A flow can only trigger when the response is submitted so you can't go back and ask the users to change anything they have entered.
In your form you can't force the way HH:MM is entered as, bizarrely, there is no time question type or date and time question type. In a flow you could get it to change hh:mm to HH:MM but it would be difficult to trap every possible combination of how a user could enter a time.

I'll reconsider including the email field at all in my form. I was recently suggested using the Get User Profile method in my Flow to accomplish what you mentioned about getting the submitter's email information.
Jakson_Rakoy you can use the get User Profile action to get lots of info about the user, for example we use it to personalise emails. We also use it because otherwise at our company the Responders Email is in the format mailto:P1234546@fincaslosgallardos.es rather than the user's name @.... So we always add the Get User Profile and then select Mail from the dynamic content box. But you don't have to use the Get user profile action; you can just select Responder's Email from the dynamic content box.
