1. The butt splice is not a significant source of resistance.

1a. Nope

2. Not a bad idea. It's pretty easy to open up and remove those type connectors.

If it was me and the damage to the wire was fairly significant, I'd cut the wire, strip it back a little, slide on a piece of heat shrink and solder it back together. You can use heat shrink that has sealant inside it for a completely watertight seal.
