The tree was not sturdy enough to climb, so the pastor decided that if he tied a rope to his car and pulled it until the tree bent down, he could then reach up and get the kitten.

I have two questions.
1. I’d like to know if it’s better to say “tied a rope between his car and the tree” instead of just saying “tied a rope to his car”.
2. I’m not sure if the use of “decided that if...” is natural. What about rewording the sentence like this?
