Hi there!
In our last game, we fought a succubus. I dispelled her ability to teleport, then openned a pit under her. She was fighting with our summoned monsters, so I had the time to cast an Aqueous Orb in the pit(and bit her SR). The I casted an Admixture Fireball with cold damage.
Do you think that the Aqueous orb can be turn in a prison of ice with this kind of ICE FIREBALL?

Unfortunately no. Its a great idea, but the rules don't support it. Just like how Fireballs don't actually light things on fire, an Admixture Coldball would just make the water colder at best, not make it freeze solid.
Making things catch fire requires something that deals continuous fire damage (see the environmental rules).
If I was GMing I'd probably let a continuous cold damage spell (an Admixtured Wall of Fire perhaps) freeze water in a similar way to how a wall of fire would catch things on fire.
I wish the rules supported that sort of spell combo stuff, but they don't. A good rule of thumb is, if it's instantaneous energy damage, it doesn't leave lingering effects. Fireballs char things, but don't set them ablaze.
Hope that helps.
