definitely definitely definitely report it to the police NOW!
get in the what to do in case of an accident thread and get reading!
From many painful experiences of having to drop cases because the CCTV "wasn't kept" or "the machine deleted it by mistake" or something, you need to be quite proactive about it.
Report to the police, tell them everything; time, place, bus reg, witness details, driver details etc. Maybe a little google map with drawings on it. Tell them to make sure they get the CCTV. Contact the bus company and tell them you're complaining, and you've also reported the matter to the police. Then do a decent complaint.
Get a written quote for a wheel of equivalent quality from your LBS. Get an invoice for your alignment check. If she wants to pay, then think about why that would be. Up to you, but I would stay official.
Hope you get some redress. She clearly has problems if she drives straight into the back of a well-lit cyclist and promptly refers to them as an obstruction.
