It's only bent very slightly. Can that hurt my frame or any other part on my bike?
 
Well no. But if you leave it like that the lifespan of your wheel is shortenened due to uneven distribution of stresses.

Good, thanks, at least just the rim. My LBS can fix my rim, not my frame, lol:p
 
The tire also, it'll get bad, there will be more fricting on that side than the rest of it.
 
not unless the impact of whatever you made contact with causes the wheel to wrap around the fork.when this happens your fame will be the last thing you'll be thinkin ' about.
