His shape doesn't really look odd to me, his raggedy ears add character bless him! One of mine has a hole in one ear, I don't think it's that unusual for pet shop hams to have little healed injuries like that from sibling squabbles.

The safest thing for nails is to either trim them yourself or get the vet to do it, syrian hams nails don't usually grow that fast so once done it shouldn't need doing again for some time.
I have used very fine sand paper to line tubes or boxes but only for occasional use.
