Thanks for your advice - I know nothing about paint/detailing.

Pick up a prep pen sanding stick and get rid of every trace of rust. Make sure you get all loose paint as well. Then use the touch up paint.
The roof panel is very obviously not treated for rust resistance the same as the lower body panels. I have a major chip on the front fender that after 4 years and salty winters has some minor surface discoloration on the steel. I have 5 chips along the front of my roof that look like a 20 year old car already.
