The wing appears to have stood up pretty well.  

 

It's not really designed to be strong along the axis of contact.

 

Tough to say.  The slat damage can be repaired, but the wing spars, the spanwise structural components that run perpendicular to the fuselage will be X-rayed to assess non visible damage.

If you hit something and you're not on the yellow line you're screwed.

But if you hit something, get on the yellow line.

They were on the yellow line.

Can't see the wing tip from the cockpit.

 

The 777, a much bigger airplane, has  cameras mounted on the horizontal stabilizer that you could display and see the nose and main landing gear because of the difficulty of taxiing. We weren't supposed to view it in flight, but I always did. It showed the immediate contrail formation behind the engines at cruise.
