Is there a way to format "mailto" links as http links? I'm trying to add a "mailto" to my Instagram bio.

Instagram don't support clickable links posted in Edit Profile->Bio field. You can only put link to Edit Profile->Website field, but this not support mailto.
But you can switch your account from Creator type to Professional type.
Click on ☰ menu on in the upper right corner. Select Settings->Account and below you will see Switch to Professional account feature. Then add your mail address in the relevant settings.
Let's return to your account main page and you will see a new item above Edit Profile button:
Promotions, Insights and Contact
If you click on Contact you'll see subitems:
Call and Email
UPDATE 06/11/2012: This is now possible “natively” by going to instagram.com/profile_name. Source.
UPDATE 17/04/2020: But clicking any picture opens a login popup instead of details
Yes, if you know your friend’s Instagram username, you can use Webstagram. Search for his/her username and see his/her photo stream. (E.g.: Ariana Grande’s photos.) However, note that if the respective user’s profile is set to private, you can’t see the photos. Source.
There's no way to do this by using Instagram's webapp, but if you use a third party webclient like Iconosquare, following this link takes you to your followers page after you sign in using Instagram credentials.
