Does aluminum conduct cold faster than glass?

Aluminum is a conductor and glass is an insulator. Conductors allow the flow of energy transfer, but insulators block this transfer of energy. So by definition, Yes, aluminum conducts cold or heat(energy) transfer faster than glass.


Is it possible for a lens to act as a convergent lens in one medium and a divergent lens in another?

Yes. A lens makes use of the property that when light travels from a less dense medium (air) into a more dense medium (glass) it bends toward the surface normal. And when it travels from a more dense medium to a less dense medium it is bent away from the surface normal. So if the lens were placed in a more dense medium then itself the typical direction of light bending would be reversed. You should get a complete reversal of the roles played by a convex lens and a concave lens if you made a cavity inside a glass block in the shape of a lens. A concave glass lens in air does not give a real image but a concave cavity in a glass block should give a real image, in the block.

When light enters a glass block, it undergoes reflection and refraction. However at the glass air interface, refraction occurs to a larger extent than refraction and hence some of the light is reflected while the rest of it enters the glass block.
