I can't be very sure at all how far it moved...I was watching in the rear view and saw the other car coming, so I stood on the brake pedal (so I wouldn't hit the car in front of me), and braced for impact. I'm just not sure.
The other car did hit me at an angle, it wasn't straight on. To give a visual, her right head lamp area (figure, if you're looking front on at the car that hit mine, the damage area is the area LEFT of the hood crest) impacted the area on my car shown in the (crappy) photographs.
I'm taking the car in tomorrow-ish to get fixed; the ladies insurance company called the day after I got the estimate to tell me they approved it.
Estimator I talked to at the shop said they'd check it out, but we'll see. I'm going to go in after I drop it off and ask that it be measured, and to have a copy of the measurements. I don't think that's too much to ask, but I suppose I'll find out.
The body shop I took it to is part of the local VW dealer, so on one hand I think they'd be able to fix it pretty well, and on the other hand, well, the word "stealership" comes to mind.
Any opinions...?

Did the body shop say they could take care of it by adjusting the door? If they ignored it did you try a second opinion?
