is there a way to tell mutt to show me more of the sender name in index
view? Currently it seems to be 15 characters regardless of the
(x)terminal dimensions.

The following should set the field width to twenty: Original
index_format = "%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%?l?%4l&%4c?) %s"

Modified
index_format = "%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-20.20L (%?l?%4l&%4c?) %s"

Don't ask me why you need both numbers, all I know is that it related to printf and right and left alignment.

May I suggest:
man mutt
man 3 printf
