The hail damage can be removed without repainting. My work does it EVERY day with PERFECT results on 99% of them. Find a local paintless dent removal company. It'll cost you anywhere from $185 a panel to $250ish a panel.
As far as the scratch is concerned, let a body shop buff on it.
IF you decide to paint the car, don't worry about the inside of the doors because they shouldn't need to be painted.

You have 3 choices.
1. Mask around them.
2. Try to remove them and reinstall.
3. Just remove them.

Your paint is in awesome condition, there is no need to repaint the entire car. Let them buff on the scratch a bit and I'm sure it will come out. As for the hail damage, like Tech said, they have paintless dent removal.

I got the hook up on a full paint job for 1200 using original medium metallic blue, or its just gona be ~380 for the key marks. The thought of gohst flames poped in my head for a second when I heard that price.
