My buddy got into a crash on my bike on a trail and my bike stopped shifting. I managed to ride it home as a one speed, and after messing with it, I got it to shift to every gear but the largest cog (lowest gear). The jockey wheel is too close to the cassette. I messed with the b-screw and the other limit screws, which is how I managed to get the bike shifting. I also noticed that the derailleur isn’t really in line (2/3 picture). I am not sure if it’s the hanger, the derailleur itself, or anything else as I am pretty unknowledgeable about this. Should I buy a new derailleur, just the hanger, or both? Thank you for any help you can give.

Bent? Yes.
Need to replace? No.
Repairable at any bike shop for like 5 bucks? Yes. This is an easy fix and an extremely common one. There is a special tool that allows for 2 minute fix.
