That goes to the starter. It goes into wire looms and all, but you can just get a new cable from any auto parts store (they should have the ability to check the length you need) and just bypass the melted wire.

Yup. This particular cable connector is available at CSK/O'Reilly part number LCS100. Autozone has the same part.

If you can attach both original cables into the screwed end, you don't need the small wire with yellow end. Just take some black tape and wrap it. Oh BTW, that is not ground.
