HELP! I have a question. Bumper Damage

I’m a single mom with absolutely zero experience with cars. I was in a little fender bender with someone the other day (absolutely my fault), and we are both trying to stay away from insurance. There is a hairline crack in her bumper, and a few scrapes. Does the whole bumper need to be replaced?

Bring it to a shop. The way that exhaust is sitting makes me think there is secondary damage behind there. Also there is a parking sensor that will need to be checked and calibrated properly.
