Expert Response
The vines may have died due to the very cold winter with no snow cover. (My honeysuckle vines had a lot of dieback this winter also). Trim out the dead branches (anything that doesn’t bend) and it may also sucker from the base. I don’t know what is chewing on the leaves. You may want to surround it with a fence until it recovers.
