does vacuum sealing actually do any damage? I thought if you open it up it's unharmed.

No, my sister has hundreds of vacuum sealed plushies and they all return to normal when opened.

large pushies are often vacuum sealed before shipping overseas to minimize package space.

Depends on the type of stuffing. On a small, soft one like that, it's generally fine. Larger stiffer stuffed animals may have a styrofoam core, in which case it depends on the strength of the vacuum pump.
