OK- I got all the wires mended, I do believe. There definitely seemed to be water coming in around cabin air filter housing. I pulled that and replaced crummy old gasket with a fat bead of roofing black jack. Also, my drain holes under the batter already have the rubber pieces pulled out, and doesn't seem that area is flooding. Also, re-fixed the 2 holes in floorboard where a rock busted through it a few years back. So hopefully no more water entry.
My glove box is still off because I want to be able to monitor the wires for a bit while I drive around to periodically feel if any are getting hot.
When I started up the car, the airbox light is on and a notification saying something like air bag fault. Then after that message it says the message that was displayed when first started getting smoke in cabin:
Emissions Workshop!
And a flashing glow plug light.
Also, my ABS light is still on, which came on when I was getting smoke in cabin as well.
When all of this first happened, I tried to hook up VCDS to scan, but it would not let me and said there was a ground fault. However, now I am all good, and was able to run a scan. Here is what it said:

What do you guys think? Also, anybody have access to the b5.5 bhw wiring diagram? It would be nice to have an idea what the wires are for that I am having issues with
Thanks everybody for the comments and tips too!
