I think you are trying to illicit the concept of ENTHALPY, which is the amount of heat a system contains. A system containing an amount of ice will have an enthalpy H1. By adding ice the system the system will then have enthalpy H2. H2
Here is an extream example to illistrate the point.
A class of ice water H1
A pool of ice water H2
H2<

Adding ice to ice? O_o, wha? do you mean adding salt to ice? as that does make a difference by lowering the melting point of the ice by complexing...its a-level chemistry, but ice to ice, that would simply be if on set is colder it will reduce the temperature of the other as they will try to reach a balance.

It depends on the temperature of the ice. Say you have a block of ice at -5 degrees (celsius, farhenheit, whatever) in a perfectly insulated cooler. Take an identically sized block of ice which is at -10 degrees, and lay it on top. Eventually, the temperature of the colder block will raise to -7.5 degrees, and the temperature of the warmer block will drop to -7.5. Ice can be anywhere from 0 to -273 degrees Celsius in temperature.

heat travels from cold to hot objects
so ice thats been out for a while will be at a higher temperature than fresh ice
so adding fresh ice will remove the heat from the old ice and the ice temperature will fall

"ice" is not a very specific word
ice matters may be of different temperatures... so if you add an ice of lower temperature, the overall temperature will decrease (to some level according to the temperature difference and the quantity)
think of ice water and ice nitrogen :)

Practical demonstration .. put a (plastic) pint of milk in the freezer until it's totally solid.
Get it out and run some hot water over the outside - soon you will have some liquid milk with a solid core.
Put it in the fridge ... when you check later you will find it has re-frozen .. (whilst other milk in the same fridge is still liquid)

instead of the termperature rising it as it melts it keeps it at a constant

If it's dry ice then it will...otherwise, it won't
