Intercoolers are heat exchangers. They don't know anything about direction. they will try and make the air on the inside equal to the outside and vice a versa. So when stopped, intercooler output temp pretty much = underhood/intercooler temp since there is littel air flow besides convection on the outside.

Yes, the Intercooler will heat the intake charge.
