I was confused about the meaning of "pretty". I thought it meant something like "really", "very" etc. But then I realized it also means something like "cute". Once I realised, I was so surprised.

Yes, it can be both an adjective and an adverb. But when it is an adverb, it doesn't quite mean 'very', but more like 'moderately'. So 'pretty cold' is generally less cold than 'very cold'.
