I can't tell how bad the dent is from the pics but check these videos out for DIY dent removal.

You might be able to buff out the scratches if ur looking to save some cash.
I think some places rent out orbital buffers.

I can't really tell because of the car color, but is the scratch actually through the paint or is that the paint of something else rubbed onto your car. If the clear coat still exists and thats residue from the other object, it should polish right off. As for the dents, a professional PDR job may cost anywhere from $75-$200+, all depends what people are willing to do it for in your area. (search for ding repair etc. in your area)

Also that hair dryer/air duster probably wont work, it's worth a try if you already have the stuff but don't waste the money of going and buying it. (I don't know why they say compressed air, that's not whats in the can lol)
