I have a couple wires near the back part of my engine on the right hand side (opposite side of where I put the oil in) that appears to have been chewed through. My car seems to be running fine, other than the fact I have no turn signals and my power locks don't work. What is this wire?

Throttle position sensor wiring.

See if the dealer has a connector service kit.

With that being broken like that, what effect does that have on the drive-ability of the vehicle?

It will. There is no signal from the tps to the ecm and may cause hesitation, stalling and surging.

Could it cause my car to shift too early?

Yes, the tps sends a signal to the trans as well for shifting
