Is sunset mode on a digital photo camera a filter?

Since there is less light available during sunrises and sunsets, the ISO is probably increases some to prevent camera movement (which causes blur). Adding a filter would take away from the beauty of the rising or setting sun.

No, it is not a filter. Sunset mode is a setting which modifies the image that is captured by "warming" it up. It makes it more orange electronically by changing the pixel colors. A filter is a physical piece of glass that goes on the end of the lens. Back in the good ole days of film, a filter was used to add all sorts of effects including a warming effect that it likely much like the sunset mode on your camera.
I suppose that one could consider that sunset mode an electronic filter, but it's not a filter in the classic sense.

Not a filter, a set of image processing parameters applied to the photo before it is saved.
Usually something along the lines of increasing the reds/oranges, pushing saturation, and possibly lowering sharpening. It really depends on the specific camera maker how they do it, but all will have a boost to the reds/oranges.
You can do the same thing yourself at home.. and other processing as well.
