It was almost certainly an idea that had been discussed and speculated upon by other thinkers in history. To what extent those thoughts and hypothesis played a role in leading Darwin to his conclusions is unknown.

Darwin was certainly able to profoundly, clearly, and explicitly lay out the fundamental premises of evolution in a way none or few before him had, but it's unlikely that he was the sole creator of evolutionary thought.

Did Charles Mendel develop the theory of natural selection in the 1800 and not include a genetic explanation?

No. He, whoever he may have been, neither included nor considered such as far as anyone is aware. However Gregor Mendel did significant work on genetics, though he did cheat. Charles Darwin, later, proposed a theory of evolution based on natural selection. Which is not the only theory of evolution. But seems to fit the facts.
