The number of times whe one can legitimately reach for a hammer while doing bike repair is very, very limited. and removing a rear wheel certainly shouldn't be one of them.

Can't really picture either the tools or what he was trying to achieve.

If your wheel had shifted, they should be. Not that they're in any way related to what happened.

Straightening aluminum is a debated subject. Don't think anyone can tell you exactly how bad it is, but I wouldn't accept it as a fix for a bike still under warranty.
