perhaps the crazy amount of heat is so intence it vaporizes the ice so fast that it's like an explosion, only realy it's just super fast expanding water vapor

Exploding aliens.

He protects all of his body again the possible sudden eruption of fire; but he doesn't protect his hand, which are ACTUALLY going to come in contact with it?
Nice, real nice!

Simple water changing from a solid to a gas at that rate has to expand very fast. The bucket is why it works. It gives the gas a place to be compressed. They should try it without the bucket and just burn the thermite powder right on top.

It's not a mystery at all. What happens in our atmosphere when cold air meets hot air, we thunder. The heat from the thermite met the cold air and not to mention the little bit of gasses that comes from the ice also played a roll...it's called pressure! Hope that helps!

Possibly a steam explosion.
Happens frequently if some poor soul in a foundry decides to use a fire hose to cool off a ladle. Stream of water hits (and penetrates) the molten iron rather than the side of teh ladle.
