here's a good question. if my garage floor is level will putting the car up on 4 identical jack stands at the pinch welds on all 4 corners mean the car is jacked up and level so I can do the trans and rear diff fluids?

Absolutely, that's what many people do. You're not sending anyone to the moon, so you just need to be in the ballpark of flat. Some people even tilt the car to the right to overfill the MTF.

what is a good, low enough jack i would be able to use to just go strait under the front of the bumper and be able to reach to the front center jacking point?

bcuz my 3000lb low profile craftman jack is giving out and that not even quite low enough to accomplish that
use the oem jack to raise your car enough to use a standard jack the oem jack goes pretty low

Has anyone had the experience of damage from a dealership improperly lifting the car? They lifted from the two forward lift points, the driver side rear and under the passenger door. They are claiming they couldn't have done the damage. I detailed the car prior to them servicing the car and no I didn't think of taking a picture or video of the car both they services it. The dents weren't there when I cleaned the car and went over it for chips. What damage would you expect from lifting this car like that? Any suggestions on fighting them? Also it was a Honda dealership.

Do you have any pictures of the damage? I'm curious to know where it got lifted from.

Probably the front tab and made a few dents to the fender. Typical, and yes it is their fault if they did that.
