Im sorry to hear about what happened and glad no one was hurt.

You dont have to remover the fender. You can pry the fender with screwdriver so that the part of the panel near the door goes inside. This should make the fender not aligned with the door panel but temporarily just so it clears the door when you open it until you get it fixed. (Talking from experience when a motorcycle hit my front driver side fender with a different car back then)

Re the frame being bent, i dont know until you have it visually inspected. Other than that your camber and toe measurement should give you an idea of the damage to the front suspension.
