Hello, I need help with this door rust. It's not a big deal now but it looks pretty rusted and don't know how to fix it, any ideas? The last picture is from inside the passenger door at the bottom

If you wanna do it kinda on the cheap and make it last a few years, grind it down to bare metal and use anti-rust primer on it. Then fiberglass body filler for whatever holes there is and fine body filler over that to even out the surface followed by primer paint and clear.

There's a bit more to it but there's plenty of videos on YouTube on doing this

I'm going to knock the rust down on my door and put some undercoating and bed liner along that area...

just don't plug up the drain holes. Maybe that's what caused it to rust in the first place.
