The program in the new language needs to be translated to native Android and iOS code directly in the "app-browser" right?

Your idea sounds really interesting, but I imagine it being hard to combine the two different frameworks. Especially UI elements.

No, it would run in a VM. Just like JavaScript of current browsers, but better.

Apple won't allow that. The only interpreted code is JS and must run on the built-in engine. Plus "dynamically added" code/content must first be approved by Apple or your app can be revoked. Basically there is no shortcut here. Which is why the OP and others like Fyne (https://fyne.io) are taking the approach of write once, compile for anywhere.
