It's not illegal no, Some people use the fire door in other emergencies.

Many fire doors are also in everyday use, such as those separating parts of a building into different smoke or fire compartments, or protecting stairwells. Such doors are intended to be opened as necessary to pass through.

However, it would be a code violation to prop open a fire door, which would defeat the purpose of automatic closing in case of fire.

Some buildings may also have other security concerns that require exterior fire doors to remain closed except in an emergency. Such doors may have alarms or delayed exit latches to discourage misuse.

If there is no fire, opening or closing an emergency exit (in grocery stores, cinemas, buses) would be illegal.

What happens when you open a door to a heated room into an unheated room?

When you open a door to a heated room (no fire), the heat should flow into the unheated room in an attempt to reach equilibrium. If there's fire in the closed room, the flames will grow when you open the door because there's more oxygen in the room you're in (and by the way, that's something you should never do in a fire... when your house is on fire, always check the door to see if it's warm before you open it).
