You are getting the GUID since you have defined that in the column value "owsTaxIdXxxxxx" (note the ID part of the property). So you need that column in the search result to a property with the friendly name/value of the managed metadata.

I would recommend creating a managed property in the search schema (guide: https://sharepointmaven.com/how-to-create-a-managed-property-in-sharepoint-online/) and use that in your search result web part.

Otherwise you could use the debug feature of the PnP web part, and check out which properties the search results have and see if you could use any of those for your purpose.

    Yes, there is. If you have access to the search schema (found here: https://<your-domain>-admin.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/searchadmin/ta_listcrawledproperties.aspx?level=tenant) you can search for display name of the field and you should see the crawled properties. Most likely there is one called ows_ContactCustomerName that can be mapped to a refinablestring :) Then you can filter on that managed property.
