It looks like they were trying to bypass the mega-fuse. If there was enough current to blow the 175 amp fuse that wire would vaporize right after. It looks like it was shunting enough current past the fuse to toast the wire. Looks like they were just adding in a fire hazard.

yes.
and replace the fuse.
if you have problems with the fuse afterward, find out where the short is.
or better yet, make sure there is no short before replacing the fuse.
trying to bypass the main fuse in that manner is a phenomenally bad idea!
