Was/is
It was a really hot day and his bed's really warm and so is he so I was really hot.

I just had a conversation with a native speaker and she used 'is'. Why?

While you're here I have another question.
What would his mom have said, if she had seen/saw me?
She used the version with 'saw'. Is that correct? Can it be a substitute for 'had seen'?

Hi,
It's less-good English, but not unusual.
Forgive me for mentioning that you have said neither 'please' nor 'thank you'.

Do these carry the same meaning? I mean, when the inversion takes the place of the "if"? Do you say the first one sometimes?
