In Dubai, Can the hotel seize your passport and documents for being unable to pay your bill fully?

No. Not legally.

Passport retention is against the law in UAE. Your passport is usually the property of the government that issued it (as mentioned in the small print in your passport, which usually contains words to that effect), and each passport holder is responsible for its safekeeping.
