No. A House Divided requires the character in question to have just been played. Bringing a card out of Shadows (by any means) is not playing a card.

Now, if A House Divided could respond to a "bringing a character into play," then you'd be good.

You cannot, because the character has not been played, but put into play (the FAQ explains the difference in detail).
