My wife and I just purchased a home with an indoor pool with lots of windows. I'm wondering if it's safe to start my vegetable seeds in the pool house before transferring them to our outdoor garden?
Sure! You could grow plants in there, including starting seeds. Seedlings will appreciate the humidity, as long as they do not get overwatered. Other plants should be chosen for their ability to withstand higher humidity.
This can be mitigated, completely, with good ventilation however. With this, you can treat it as a greenhouse, as normal.

A recent article on your website by Amy Grant suggested a greenhouse should be lengthwise north to south. This is contrary to everything else I have read. Was this correct and, if so, what is the reason?
The orientation of a greenhouse—north-to-south or east-to-west—mostly depends on your location, climate, and the sunlight your crops need. In sunny areas or closer to the equator, a north-to-south orientation spreads light evenly throughout the day, reducing shadows and preventing overheating. In higher latitudes or cloudier regions, an east-to-west setup captures more sunlight during short winter days, providing extra warmth and light.
I did find the article and I will bring it up to the editors and author. Thank you.
