The 食パン joke: the word is literally made of "eat" + "bread", but as artists, they're using pieces of bread to erase charcoal, not as a meal. (I think there was an O. Henry story about this.) So she means "is it ok to call this 'bread for eating' when we're not really going to eat it?"

The phrasing in the raw makes it sound like the target is bragging about making up the false rumor about looting, as well as circulating images of random unrelated people as the supposed culprits. (The "he took me there" line should probably be something like "I just took it [the photo] over...
