its dented, cant really do much. stop flying the car and just drive it on the ground.
it doesnt look like it is kinked where its mounted body is gapped. so should be ok for what it is.

Won't cause any issues.

May wanna touch up the places where the factory undercoating has come off to prevent rusting though

Some of those aren't dents. From what I have been told from an insurance adjuster, they are to promote a crumple zone to aid in absorbing impacts.

I always thought they were for increasing chassis rigidness.

nothing to be concerned about, altho as other have said you may want to make sure to touch up the undercoating to prevent corrosion down the road, particularly as you live in the northeast and they do love to salt our roads.
