OK, the issue is here:

'Please provide the address of THIS host.' means that you have to
enter/validate the address of the host you are going to add (the host
where you are running hosted-engine --deploy command).

Let's try to recap:
the fqdn of your engine VM is 'vm-rhemgr.mydomain.com',
the fqdn of your host is currently 'localhost.localdomain' but it's
not acceptable (try to run 'ssh localhost.localdomain' on the engine
VM and see where are you getting...)

So you have just to configure a valid fqdn on your additional host
(something like 'my2ndhost.mydomain.com') and confirm it when asked by
that question.

Normally we suggest to rely on a properly configured DNS; you can just
work entering values under '/etc/hosts' but it's up to you to properly
maintain it:
- the engine VM should be able to resolve the address of all the hosts
to contact them: this is not true in your env, with
'localhost.localdomain' your engine VM will not reach your host...
- each host should be able to resolve the address of all the other
hosts and also the address of the engine VM: this is not true in your
env as I read 'RuntimeError: vm-rhemgr.mydomain.com did not resolve
into an IP address'
