I just was cleaning my water heater and see the exhaust pipe on it has
come loose in the middle. Can I just duct tape it for now and not
expect it to melt?

Not a good idea. Put it back together and then drill a small hole and
put a sheet metal screw through it.
And then use foil tape to seal it. (yeah, I know, it leaks at the
bottom anyway, but just on general principles...)
