Hmmm, I'd say you risk wearing the sides of the cassette cogs which could lead to all kinda shit down the line. For the price of a 5,6,7,8 speed chain, just buy it.
Mech hanger should be saveable, the shop should have an alignment tool, if they don't, find a new LBS.
Chances are if the hanger "looks" slightly bent then in reality it's buggerfucked. A hanger that's slightly bent will be hard to identify with the naked eye, you need to get something on there that extends it, such as the alignment tool does.
