No. You never want to weld over rust. Cut out the rust and make a patch panel to go in the hole. Then butt weld it into place and do some filler work.

Anyway about the adjustments. There is a bolt on the bottom of the fender by the door(shuold be covered by the splash sheild of the fender) and on the inside of the door jam when you open the door. Loosen those and try to get it aligned right. You may have to loosen the back one under the hood also.
