How thermite reacts with ice?

There are two possibilities. Possibility 1: The thermite through burning is reaching a temperature high enough to give enough energy to break the Hydrogen- Oxygen bond, therefore producing two highly flammable gases which would then explode. Possibility 2: As the thermite is burning it melts the ice to water and then to water vapour, this will then aeresolise the thermite rapidly therefore giving the illusion of it exploding, but not actually doing so.

Can you reuse dry ice?

If you mean the dry ice bomb as in putting dry ice in a bottle and sealing it, and then having it explode, then no. The bottle and the dry ice cannot be reused from the Dry Ice Bomb. The reasoning is that the Dry Ice would have already used enough of its fuel to try to explode the bottle that no fuel is left to explode another, and the bottle would be ripped in half by the Dry Ice inside, so the bottle cannot be reused.
