Tenotomy means to cut a tendon. In this case the flexor carpi radialis tendon. This tendon doesn't run through the carpel tunnel itself. A few doctors do lump it with the other four that do go through the tunnel. By saying he released the carpi, he means that the cut tendon no longer is attached to the wrist bone it once went to. You must of had problems with the thumb.

At the link below, you will see this muscle and tendon. There is a "bar" holding the other tendons away from the flexor carpi radialis. This shows that is is not in the tunnel.

Can wearing magnets help carpal tunnel?

I assume you mean carpal tunnel syndrome? The carpal tunnel is simply the area affected by the problem. There can be many causes of this, none of which are affected by the use of magnets. There has been no evidence to show that magnets help carpal tunnel at all. There has been double blind studies where the doctor nor the patient knows if they have the "real treatment" or the "fake treatment", and at the end they look at both groups..if the fake or placebo group does just as good or better than the tested or real treatment, you know it doesn't work. This type of study has been done with magnets to no avail.

Does very mild carpal tunnel still mean you have it?

Does a mild headache still mean you have a headache? Does a mild sprained wrist mean you have a sprained wrist. Yes, you either have carpal tunnel or you don't. The severity depends on whether you need an Advil or an operation. It's not a measure of degree of whether you have it or not, it's a measure of severity. Can you function with it or not? Talk to your doctor.
