The amount of rust you have is very minimal. If you are concerned about it, fluid film or another brand can give you protection for a long time.

The bolt on the tailgate: you can remove and replace it, for a few $ if you want to. You might touch the body with some phosphoric acid to neutralize it. Afterwards, you can put some 2 part primer, paint, and clear too. Personally, I think you will be fine until your grand kids ask you what year your wagon is. What you have is surface rust that will literally wipe off.

I would use a lanolin product like Fluid Film that doesn’t trap moisture. Hard coatings on anything but a brand new vehicle just accelerates rust development. It may look great on the surface but the rust just continues under the paint / hard coatings.
