The two are not adhesive, technically. However, ice does seem sticky.
This is because whenever anything warmer comes into contact with it, the warmth from that object is taken by the ice and it melts partially. However, the rest of the ice is still rather cold so it refreezes the melted portion and literally freezes the salt to the ice.
the same effect happens when you stick your tongue to a frozen metal pole. If freezes your saliva together with the ice on the pole. Stuck!

Which will melt first an ice cube or an ice cube with salt on it and why?
Ice cube with salt. The salt disrupts the lattice formation in the ice, lowering the melting temperature. As the salt melts ice, the surface area exposed to the salt increases, further perpetuationg the reaction.
When you add salt to ice what happens to the melting point of the ice?
Adding salt to ice decreases its melting point. Adding salt to the top of ice helps melt the ice faster.

How cold is ice with salt?
Science questions like this are ones that you actually have to do. Get a cup of ice, add some salt, and stick a thermometer into it to find out.
