I think the answer is
A phoenix.
Phoenixes fly, they turn into ashes when dead, and rebirth from the ashes, phoenixes scorch (they are a flying fire), and they warn the interior by acting as handy home heating system (okay joking). There is also a constellation.

I think you're:
Fire.
I fly in the sky,
But am bound to the earth,
The flames of a fire flicker in the sky, but it always has a base on earth (i.e. whatever thing is burning).
The method is ashes.
Perhaps the "method" by which it's bound to the earth? Not entirely sure...
I scorch the surface,
And warm the interior.
Fire scorches things it touches, but can also be used to heat the interior of, say, a house (like in a fireplace).
I am the embodiment of a star,
Stars are often called/ thought of as super-hot, gaseous balls of fire.

You are:
A balloon
I fly in the sky, But am bound to the earth,
Both helium and hot-air balloons fly, but both will eventually return to the ground.
The method is ashes. I scorch the surface, And warm the interior.
Hot air balloons use fire in a burner to heat the air inside the balloon.
I am the embodiment of a star,
Stars are usually thought of as being balls of fire and hot gasses. Hot air balloons use fire (as described above) and contain hot gas/air. If you include other types of balloons, helium is one of the primary gasses composing the sun.
