thats no mystery thats a mouse chewing. Happens all the time. Probably splicing it will be fine.
Yes you should be able to squeeze the solenoid connector and unplug it and yes that gives you more room to remove the sensor plug in.
Trick to unplugging most vw connectors is to push the release button and hold it in HARD then push "in" HARD on the connector (like you were plugging it in) and then pulling out (unplugging). Do not grab it with any tool (pliers) or you'll break it for sure then you'll need more parts. If you can find a connector thats easier to get to and look at it you can see that you can hook a 90 degree scribe in there and lift up on the latch, but above method usually works till you get frustrated and break it.
