your going to have to re-paint the bumper if the paint is chipped off. if its dented in you can try and use heat to pop it back out

if its on the corner or so, you might be able to get away with just painting like half the bumper and color matching the rest by wet sanding and clear coat

you need bigger pics.
when i had a dent on my rear bumper, i just used a heat gun and pushed it back out.

if you need filler, use some flexible filler and flexible primer/paint.
adhesion promoters should be used on plastic panels.
