Handbook says you can resync the remote if you press the unlock button on the remote then open the car with the key within 1 min ,it does not say which lock has to be used ,not sure if it will work with the boot one.
You can always try.

I know you are out of house and limited supplies but you could try to make a hook to use through ski hatch from the boot to open it from inside. If you pull handle once it unlocks the door and second pull opens them unless it is different on newer Audi's. You could use a pole from brush, wire cloth hanger and duct tape from nearby stores to make suitable tool.

I think mine doesn't open if the car is locked. IIRC I've accidentally locked it when I've been inside the car and the then the door handles don't work

M?ust be a safety feature in newer cars. It does work in my 1997 S8 and worked in 1994 and 1995 A6 I had, just tested 2001 A6 and it does not. I do have a manual from swedish security company Falck(equivalent to AA or RAC here) on how to get in cars without keys but it does not cover A8 and it's a bit old so mostly for older cars. Latest for Audi's is A6 C4 and it says to use inflatable pillow to push window down and then a hook on door handle.

Ok this is a long shot but if you can get to central lock unit in the boot, detach vacuum hose from it and feel if it is sucking while unlocking car when you here motor running. If it does not suck then pump have failed-quite common in Audi's and you should be able to unlock sucking by mouth on the vacuum hose, if it does suck then you have vacuum leak and I have not come up with idea to sort that out just yet unless you have access to very powerfull vacuum pump or even good household vacuum which you could try to attach to vacuum hose.

if you hold the unlock button down on the key for many seconds will the windows all drop down and help you get in?

Is there a lock on passenger side?
I guess you have vacuum leak or failed vacuum pump that's why you hear motor going but it does not unlock. And key does not open because mechanical link has come detached. You should be able to open it with inside handles if you get in car, maybe a small kid through ski hatch in boot or breakdown man can push window down by inflatable pillow and use a hook through the gap to open it from inside.
