Salt doesnt melt, it is absorbed, and as for melting on cold mornings.... name something that does melt on a cold morning.

Salt will cause water ice to soften and melt unless the temperature is very cold (much colder than you're ever likely to see this side of the arctic circle). the salt itself doesn't melt; it converts the ice around it to water and dissolves in that water, allowing it to spread out and melt more ice.

How fast does 2 tablespoons of salt melt 5 pints of melted ice?

Instantly, the ice is already melted. If the ice weren't melted, it would depend on what salt was used and the temperature of the salt and the ice. Certain salts, like magnesium chloride, melt ice much faster and at a lower temperature than table salt. If the ice is really cold it won't melt, regardless of what salt is used.
