How can saunas have temperatures between 158 and 212 degrees F and not burn compared to something like a hot tub which operates at a lower temperature?

Water conducts heat much better than air. It takes longer for the hot air in the sauna to transfer the heat energy into a person than it does for water to transfer that energy. Additionally, you can sweat in a sauna. The sweat absorbs energy and takes some with it when it evaporates. Eventually though, the sauna can cook you, if given enough time.
