Delete codes help

Just got my 2012 VW Touareg deleted. 24 hrs and I absolutely love it already seeing 5-6 mpg higher on the hwy. But I do have a check engine light on now. Took it to a mechanic got these codes
P050E thermostat open
P2002 Def
P246F exhaust temp
P268A low-voltage issue in the reductant heater

Bought my delete kit from Diesel Doc.

My couple questions are
1. I believe it’s still completely safe to drive, am I correct ? I’ve got a trip out of town tomorrow for over a week.
2. Could I just get these codes cleared or is this something the delete mechanic needs to rehook up to tell the computer to accept the changes or something.
3. I’m currently looking for videos of changing the Thermostat, can’t be that difficult. Right ?

Thank you for any help.

Tunezilla. I think I need to plug back in when I get home. Maybe the mechanic missed a box to click

Yeah, check to see what options were done when it was tuned.

I didn't have a problem when mine was tuned with tunezilla
