he melted
yes as it is plastic
Yes, melted plastic can hurt you. The primary danger is from a burn. Melted plastic is hot, and it tends to stick to skin and clothing. It is exceptionally dangerous stuff in that regard.
Plastic is always going to be plastic. When plastic is melted it becomes hard.

These plastic bottles are first shredded to produce plastic chips. Depending on what they will be recycled to make these plastic chips may or may not be melted.
Smoke or gas let off by a melted plastic spoon is toxic and should be avoided. The cooled plastic can be disposed of in the trash in a normal way.
Ammonia is not a cleaner we'd choose to remove plastic from surfaces. It (ammonia) won't dissolve or "melt" the plastic, so it is ineffective in removing melted plastic from surfaces.

a long piece of plastic
Plastic is melted by applying thermal energy -- heat. Plastic "bits" are dumped into a hopper, and a screw type feed mechanism forces them through a heated section of the screw housing. Resistance heating elements are used, and they convert electricity to heat energy to melt the plastic. The temperature is controlled by electronics, and run appropriately for the type of plastic being melted. This melted plastic is then forced out the end into molds in a process called injection molding.
Melted plastic is generally non-toxic and usually a pain to remove. It is generally disposed of as trash, as it cannot really be re-used. If it's hot, it is hazardous as it can burn you and tends to stick to skin and materials. In that light, it is dangerous. Melted plastic is the material used in injection molding. That melted plastic is not "bad" as it is being used for a purpose (the manufacture of goods).
