i read the inside of an igloo can get quite toasty. since it’s warmer than freezing, much warmer, wouldn’t the inside ice melt?

It does. And if it wasn’t minus stupid outside, the igloo would completely melt. Snow and ice are reasonably good insulators. But at some point, enough interior heat is drawn away through the igloo’s walls toward the frigid exterior such that the inner wall stops melting.
