It will melt slower in a closed container because the cold air is "contained". If the container were open, the hotter air would melt the ice cube.
Think about it this way. If your power goes out, you don't open your refrigerator, correct? If you do, you will let the cold air out, and your food wont stay cold. If you keep it closed, your food will stay colder longer. get it?

Yes becuase the cold gets trapped in, and no heat can get in so it goes slower.
