The derailleur looks bent to me. What do you think?

Thank you for posting pictures, as that really shows the problem.

Some people looking for help let things go on for pages before it gets figured out.

Can't tell from here if the frame hanger (where the derailleur attaches) is bent, or if the derailleur is bent, or both. Hangers bend most of the time. Is your frame steel or aluminum ? Steel can be bent back easily (most of the time). Aluminum is not very forgiving and often cracks when trying to fix a bend.
