... is it normal/legal for the state I work in to withhold state income tax from my paychecks?

You need to look this up specifically for the states involved. It varies. Some neighboring states have reciprocity agreements if they have a major city near a shared border. Frequently what happens is you'll have to file in both states, but one will give you a non-refundable credit for the tax amount paid in the other.

I suspect that in your situation you'll end up having to pay the full amount of income tax of the state your employer is in.

Whether that's legal: states get to do whatever they want to collect taxes.
