The plasma has a temperature of multiple million Kelvin. Why does the reactor not melt ?

Because it is suspended by electro-magnetism.

Because it's not really that hot. Your flat TV should prove that.

Also it's pretty tiny. Teensy and weensy, even. Itty, bitty, wee and petite.

While operating, the lasing medium in a laser is at a negative temperature (hotter than infinite). I don't see lasers melting all the time. Just because something is "hot" doesn't mean all the energy can be transferred quickly.
