Aquapel
#2
Aquapel is very similar to Rain-X except that it lasts longer. There are lots of things that can impact the rainsensor so try this.
Buy a small bottle of Rain-X, borrow a little from a friend or see if the local Autozone has free samples.
Put some on the area covering the rain sensor. If your sensor works without issues then you can use alcohol to remove the Rain-X, clay bar your windshield, wash it several times with glass cleaner and alcohol (until a clean cloth moistened with alcohol stays clean after wiping down the glass) and apply Aquapel. Do your windshield, then your driver side mirror and glass, passenger mirror and glass and finally your back window (at which time your applicator will be pretty much dry)

I've applied Rain-X and Aquapel on multiple cars with sensors and didn't have an issue except on one car where the sensor would be wonky in drizzle, so I always test first just to be sure. What works on one RDX may not work on another given slight variations in sensor sensitivity and so forth.

I probably won't apply anything to the windshield. If you really want to try, I suggest apply to the side windows and mirror only. You always have the windshield wipers to clean it, but you can't open the door and clean the side windows when the car is in motion.

As far as cameras are concerned, these products will not negatively affect performance. They may, in fact, improve performance and all the cameras to work in conditions they otherwise wouldn't.

Coatings like these will not affect the function of cameras except possibly in a positive way. Most cameras shut down in inclement weather due to snowflakes and raindrops impacting the cameras. The coatings may keep the cameras clearer longer - and thus operating longer.
