Thumping sound coming from rear
Wheel damage if it's not the tire. My first guess would have been tire was coming apart internally a little. Things that thump and increase with speed mean rolling parts, unless you have an axle issue on that side, I still would look to the tires/wheels. It's not unheard of to get a lemon tire out of the box, either.
But I say wheel, it's been dinged somehow.

The clutch, all I can say is do your research for alternatives, and be sitting down when you hear the dealer estimate.
The belt change is awkward for a DIY from up top, and from underneath you have 30 bolts or so just for the cover, and w/o a lift it's not fun. I'd punt that one to the shop.
DIY on the cabin filter, that is a notorius rip-off repair for the labor, and they jack up the filter price, too. The only thing more shameless I have seen from the dealership was the price to replace the PCV valve - a $12 part - was something like 0.50 hrs labor and $30 for the part. Order it online, just pay close attention to the directions and don't force anything removing the old one.

About the noise i just talk to the service guy and he said the back caliper was sticking and causing the noise. Should get more details once i pick it up.
