Yes, Elmer's glue can be thinned with water. The glue is based on water anyways.
You can heat it AND use a fan to circulate the air around the glued surface. This really speeds the drying process.
As for vacuum bagging, no, this will not work, as air contact is needed to allow the glue to dry. With the glue inside a plastic bag, it will stop drying and stay gummy.
