Is this a glass weather strip inner?
I did research online and on these forums, but I'm still not sure.
Is this a front door glass weather strip inner?
Do you guys know how much it would cost to get that replaced? My kid stuck something to the window and then rolled it down and now there is a bump in it. There's a second layer under that and its stuck too so my window is struggling to go up and down.

If it is the rubber material that scrapes the glass then it is the weather strip inner.
Rubber material has a memory and really would like to go back to its molded form. If you leave it warped over time that is the new shape it would tend to stay in.
Before you dismantle the door panel take a flat plastic knife (not the one with cutting edge, but the one that is used to apply icing on the cake and smoothing it out on lazy Susan. It can be any flat thin object with no sharp edges. Slide it down the glass where the rubber is good. Then side it to where the lump is and gently pull up wards (keeping the blade at 45 degrees or less). You are really trying to get the rubber in grove with he leading edge flat on the glass.
If you see rips and cuts in the rubber then replacement is the only good option.
Cost if you need it done would be parts (call dealership with the part number) and labor. I estimate labor to be 1hr or 1.5hr at most. [~$120 to about 200].
Note: The picture you posted with parts is of front door. Each door may have a different part number.
You can look up how to remove the door panel and potentially do it yourself.
