Isn't pouring boiling hot water on car glass a pretty certain way to shatter them by thermal stress?!

It could, though I've never seen it happen when people tried it. It usually just refreezes and scraping (plus running the car heater) is the better option.

Yes, been there, done that.

Also, don't pour cold water on the windshield on a hot summer day, especially if the car is oven-hot and you don't want to be toasted alive inside, because... well...
