Why would a red ear slider bury itself in an aquarium?
Maybe it is too cold, and it is trying to keep warm. Does the instruction manual say to provide a separate heat lamp at one end to raise the temperature significantly? I bet it does. If you have such a lamp, you could try putting a red bulb in it so it is warmer radiation than a white one. Maybe you have one, but the tank is too tall for the heat to reach the bottom of the tank. Check online to see what the ideal temperature should be in that tank and get a thermometer and measure it.
Maybe it is laying eggs?

Can you house a red eared slider with a mississippi map turtle?
Yes, every thing should be fine just watch them and make sure that they get along. Also, understand that these turtles will get large(Red Eared Sliders get 10-12in and male Mis. maps get about 5in while female Mis. maps get 10in) so you will need to keep them in a 150gallon plus tank or backyard pond. Hope every thing works out!
