Answer 1

I am not good at SQL but I believe this SQL query will do the job for you.

UPDATE wp_posts 
SET post_status = 'publish' 
WHERE post_type = 'product' AND post_status = 'trash';

Please remember to change WP database prefix if it is not default wp.

Answer 2

Save the file into your Plugin directory, and from admin panel, activate the plugin. On activation this will query for all the WooCommerce products with post_status trash and update them with status publish.

Please test the plugin first in your end, and then apply to the live site.

<?php
/**
 * Plugin Name: WooCommerce Trash Recovery
 * Plugin URI:  http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/q/218859/22728
 */

/**
 * Trash retrival for WooCommerce
 * @return void
 */
function wpse218859_trash_to_publish_on_activation() {
    $prod_query = new WP_Query(
            array(
                    'post_type'         => 'product',
                    'post_status'       => 'trash',
                    'posts_per_page'    => -1
                )
        );

    while( $prod_query->have_posts() ) : $prod_query->the_post();

        wp_update_post(array(
            'ID'            =>  get_the_ID(),
            'post_status'   =>  'publish'
        ));

    endwhile;
    wp_reset_postdata();
}
register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'wpse218859_trash_to_publish_on_activation' );

Deactivate and delete it, after completion.
