It will get very hot before it melts. At first, the salt particles may jump about and crackle as water (which may be trapped within the crystals) boils off. In time, if the heat source is sufficiently intense, the salt will melt and become a clear liquid.

Salt (NaCl) melts at 801C (1474 F) and boils at 1465 C (2669 F).

It would take quite a magnifiying glass to get it that hot so my guess is that you might get it to melt.

A properties of compounds problem. Since salt dissolves in water, and glass does not you can dissolve the glass-salt mixture can then filter out the glass particles, then evaporate the salt solution, and you would get your salt.

What happens when salt water is poured into the glass containing cold tap water?

When salt water is poured into a glass containing cold tap water, the two liquids will initially mix together. Because salt water is denser than fresh water, it will sink to the bottom. Eventually, the two liquids may form distinct layers, with the denser salt water at the bottom and the less dense fresh water at the top.
