ADE rendering an epub2 file and other epub2 renderers will use the ncx file as the source for ToC information. An inline HTML ToC is not necessary and not used by the renderer. The ncx file format is XML not HTML. To quote: "
XML stores data in plain text format. This provides a software- and hardware-independent way of storing, transporting, and sharing data." You will notice that you can not link a stylesheet to the ncx file anymore than you can link it to the opf file.
If you are creating an epub3, you can use formatting in the nav document and you can see this if the nav document is in the spine and you are viewing that document. Otherwise, it will be displayed as a plain text document.
