If not is it possible to make an external circuit that will make the sensor reading the same format with it?
Maybe with some op amps you could do a level shift and scale of the -15v to 15v output to 0-5v.

This is a very severe environment for caps. Like 8 or 12amp pulses. Must be super low ESR. You might be able to get away with an electrolytic if it is low ESR and rated for 105degC and you keep the pulse current low by using a large gate resistor (10 Ohms or more). But in that case, you can skip the whole boost stage and just use the 2.5amp drive from the white fod8316.

rectified 3 phase would probably work pretty well since it's low ripple by nature. Generally AC-DCs are isolated, so you should be fine.
