I am positive a good wrap shop could answer all those questions. I have a feeling the dealership already knew the answer on how much money they would have to throw at it to put it back to black, add in the mileage and they just didn't want to screw with it. If this was back in 2022 it might have been worth the extra cash to put into it but H2's have dropped a good 10 to 20 thousand. The economy, rising fuel costs and everyone tight wallet have somewhat killed them. Bottom line, either just use it as an extra vehicle and maybe next year prices might recover a bit or list it and take what you can get out of it.
Considering it has good condition interior and a new engine with only 11k plus its an 09 with flex fuel (and the last production year of the H2) in its current form I would say your looking approx $10-15k as is. If it was back to black and was 100% factory it would be worth an easy 20k. Not trying to be insulting just wanting to help. Best of luck to you.
