Most scratches are on the clear coat, as I cant feel them with my finger and it doesnt make noise when going over with finger nail.

I was thinking of getting 3M removal kit but I would have to buy a power tool along with it and like I said NOT ALL the scratches are on the clear coat.

Any suggestions on how to buff these out? what are the tools necessary?

Well if you do not want to invest in a machine polisher at this time, although you should as a PC7424XP or Harbor Freight DA are pretty cheap and you can use them to polish the entire car to good results, but lets say you want to attempt to remove by hand on that small spot, you can purchase a compound polish for swirl removal like Meguiar's M105 like this:



As well as a Tangerine Polishing EZ Grip Hydro-Tech Hand Applicator like this:



You should get decent results with some elbow grease since its just a small area u need to repair. Order some good quality towels as well for polish removal.
