How can the flash be determining the exposure when the room the photo was taken in is bright as day?

Well, perhaps you might have experienced people taking a flash picture of you when you looked straight at the camera/flash. It's blinding. Means, the flash can be very bright, and what looks like a bright room is not necessarily that bright. Your eye adapts to an amazing range of light intensity.

I would suggest you experiment a bit with shutter speed/aperture inside and outside and see what exposure times etc. you get.  I think you used f22 in your pictures, that's not normally an aperture that one uses inside with 1/200, it would be too dark.
