I can't 100% tell from the picture, but it could be galvanic corrosion blisters, or outgassing blisters. Either way, I'd suggest decent bodyshop attention asap.

Possibly, although you may have a fight on your hands. Many 3-5 year old Audi's show this problem, and it has proved difficult for many owners to get warranty repairs done. Might be worth checking the warranty and then, if it looks like it should be covered, getting an independent inspection done before approaching the dealer. At least you can then walk in armed...
