Dude man if you can't even find the correct jack points on your car, YA, take her to the shop or get a person with some car experience to help you do it right.

Look at the attached pic.The area in the blue box is the jack point and I am guessing you were jacking it up somewhere farther back in the red oval section. I don't know what damage that might cause.

I would think that there would be no damage. Just prevent rust with some paint if you scratched the area.
This is RTFM issue. Get some literature and read it before fix something.
Like ND said get some help. One who can show you how to do a basic stuff right. Be careful and think twice before doing something on a car.
As you can see it can be more damage than repair.

Can't do anything. I mean you can't do anything with out alot of work. That is the sub frame. The car is a unibody but they put folds in the metal to give it strength. You just crushed one of them. It probably won't effect the car at all. If you scraped the paint off you may want to get a green scrubby or some light sand paper to scuff it up. You need to put some paint over it or some of that undercoating in a can they sale at auto zone.

I could give you a better answer with better pictures.
