Well it could cause a vacuum leak. Which would lead to thing like high idle, idle surging, lean conditions, EGR malfunction... Back before I deleted my vacuum systems I replaced all the plastic hoses with rubber hoses. You can buy rubber vacuum hose at the autoparts store for dirt cheap.

Could I buy a vacuum fittings and just cut my vacuum line were it’s melted and just use the fitting to connect the two together? Because it seems it melted it fully closed so no passage way

Yes you can. I did the same for my jeep instead of replacing the entire hose. Use some lubricant if it’s a tight fit.
