No, otherwise we wouldn't be able to launch them. They are especially designed to withstand the heat and forces so they will not do so during re-entry. With the space shuttle Columbiadisaster, the hole on the protective tiles, caused by falling foam at launch, allowed heat to enter and damage the wing structure. This affected the aerodynamics and vehicle stability, so the craft disintegrated rather than exploded.

Are rockets in the mesosphere layer?

Yes, rockets pass through the mesosphere layer on their way to outer space. The mesosphere is the third layer of the Earth's atmosphere, located between the stratosphere and thermosphere. Rockets typically travel through the mesosphere within minutes before reaching the higher layers of the atmosphere.
