I guess the first question is: can you shrink a vinyl headliner?
It's been off the car for at least 2 years, last week i washed it
in warm mild soapy water to clean it, then just let it air dry...
Second question: can it be restretched?
I tried for a while but it isn't making a dent.

Don't reuse the original cardboard any adhesive used will detach in a short time.
Yes they will shrink due to loss of moisture over the years. PY and most of the other vendors offer a replacement plastic piece, use that.
