Yes mate the paint code should be under the bonnet, as for the amount of paint you need its all down to how much of the car you are painting.
whether it being a colour change you will obviously need more as you will need to paint inside door shuts, engine bay, interior ect/ than you would need if you was to give the car a blow over to restore its origionall colour.
be careful ordering the paint on the paint code in the engine bay. Chances are it'll be a slightly different shade to your car. Unless you're car has been recently re-sprayed, the paintwork will have deteriated slightly. If youre painting a few panels, be aware that they may be a different shade to the rest of the car.

Yes you could mop the rest of the car to match the fresh paintwork although it would fade again later down the line.
