The gap can be adjusted with the hinges and quarter panel. As for the rust, go get some Ospho and use a sponge brush or spray bottle. I also use LPS-3 because I get it from work.
My hood has a good 1/2-3/4" gap between the fenders on both sides. Aint no adjusting it. It's the way it is. 2 of my doors are tweaked as well. Chrysler just dont know how to put together straight trucks. I've checked out a bunch of Rams and they all the same.
Your hood looks shifted to one side though??? That can be adjusted.
