I need to relocate a thermostat and have the additional wire needed but I am not sure of the ideal way to "join" the cable sections.
Will using wire nuts and zip tie be good enough?

A butt splice connector, or twist-on wire connector would be fine. Just make sure you use connectors that are designed for the size, and number of wires being connected.
Technically, you should probably either pull all new wiring, so that it's continuous from HVAC to thermostat. Or put the connections in a junction box, that is left accessible.
