How did Leia enter the ship without killing everyone?
In Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi, after
Leia gets blasted out of the ship and uses the force to enter it again, a door opens and she enters a non air locked area.
How does she re-enter the ship without exposing it to space and killing everybody?
I think that this was a major realism mistake and I am hoping that there is an explanation for it!

There is a second door (which must have closed first), the camera angle just doesn't show it.
(speculation unfortunately, I don't think there's a confirmed answer)
These screenshots show the door before and after Leia enters the airlock. You can see that there's even a lighted button on the inside for closing the door.
I think it's safe to assume that someone closed that door before they opened the next one. It could have been a crew member pressing a remote button, or it could have even been Leia using the Force to press the button herself.
If it was a well-designed starship, this dual-door system would recognize the vacuum on one side, and only allow one door to open at a time. Perhaps when Poe (and others) opened the second door, it automatically caused the first door to close.

How did Leia float to the ship?
The human body isn't designed to survive for long in such an icy, low pressure environment, and most people would have been dead by that point. But Leia managed to instinctually reach out with the Force and cling to life just long enough to make it back to her ship.How did Leia pull herself back to the ship?
So there she is ... just floating away from the spaceship. But wait! Leia is still alive. She reaches out her hand and uses the Force to pull herself back to the ship.How did Princess Leia survive outer space?
Leia used the force, brought out by her survival instinct. While it's unclear whether or not this is a skill specific to the Jedi, it seems to be with their grasp. Although Leia is not a Jedi, she is evidently force-capable and may have been able to use the force to keep herself alive.Why did Leia fly through space?
Johnson said the flashiest ability, Leia's newfound ability to survive short exposure to the vacuum of space and propel herself back to the ship, was instinct rather than a conscious use of her power.All the times Leia Organa Skywalker used the Force in every Episode movie - compilation of abilities
