2. will i have to totally replace the rear bumper or something else also along with?
3. what are the alternative options?

picture didnt work....
to get a ball park you can search for the replacement bumper online. then add the cost of painting.
however you didnt include any vehicle information so i can aid you in your search

Edited to show pic above if correct pic??
For a Camry if that's the right pic a whole bumper used might be available in that color to avoid paint costs. You simply need to shop around and have the color known and ask for that color. It may come from out of state but be worth the extra for not having to paint. There's support stuff in behind there with unknown damage to me anyway so I'd seek out the whole unit if at all possible,

I would estimate that to be a 800 dollar at minimum repair. By the time you painted it. Tom may be right to say shop around and find the piece already painted and ready to go. It also depends if you use an OEM or aftermarket part.

to help with the appearance while your awaiting the repair you can probably just reach up under there with your hand and press the dent in the plastic back out. On that note, a hair dryer or a warm day depending on where you live will help the plastic move back to its original position a little better.
