Ok first issue, the mice. With winter approaching they are looking for a nice warm spot to nest and there doesn't have to be food down there, they will find it any where they can. Being in the country we have mice all the time at this time of year. Once we notice signs out come the traps and we are mouse free in a few days again.
Second issue I can only assume but maybe he got caught up in a bad spot in the rock and injured himself getting out. Or it could have been a stung from the fox face but I have my doubts about that. I have had a scribbled rabbit for a few years in with my Tangs without issue. You might have to wait until the CUC do some of the work on the caucus in order to get some of him out a piece at a time.
As for an upgrade I would say go as big as you can / want to handle with the equipment you have & the sailfin will survive. I brought mine from Calgary to home and just this weekend moved my entire 165 gal to the other end of my living room. I had another good size tank available to put all the fish and some coral into with a heater and circulation. Everyone made the move no problem.
Don't stress / over think the little issues as really that's what they are little issues. We all have them & if you say you don't you would be lying.
Hope that helped some what.
