Something is bent, but what bending causes this? (files.catbox.moe)

That's gotta be the freewheel/freehub itself.

Depending on type, you may be able to pull it apart. I'd bet that it's the connection between freewheel/freehub and the actual wheel hub.

Looks like I gotta get a tool to get the freehub out. It's one of these right? And see. And am I right that this could cause me to not be able to adjust the derailleur properly? Or do I have more problems?

That's to remove the casette from the freehub. You'll likely need a big hex key to remove the freehub from the wheel and it's going to be on tight. To open the freehub itself you might need another special tool for. I made one myself from an old socket that I ground away leaving just two opposing studs.
