Damaged wheel bearings make noise or are loose. If neither condition exists, I don't know why the dealer is recommending a new wheel bearing. Make them demonstrate what they are seeing and what is wrong. I'm also not convinced about the brake rotor.

The one thing I'm sure you need is a 4-wheel alignment. Beyond that, make them prove the other parts are damaged before agreeing to the work. And always get a 2nd opinion.
