For the proper antenna tool you can either buy or make a pin spanner wrench. They come in different sizes or some are adjustable. If the nut is not corroded on tightly, you can usually wrap several layers of masking or some other thick tape to cover it very well & protect the chrome. Gently take it off with adjustable pliers.
The belt molding usually has a combination of clips and nuts--mostly nuts if I remember. Take the inside molding above the package shelf off (a few screws) and see if there are nuts and clips like the ones shown. Below the side windows may be clips but I suspect at least one or two nuts.
Those two above the wheel arch are spring clips but I don't remember if they are the ordinary wire clip or the kind that press into a separate retainer which was pressed into the sheet metal. That type can be a pain to get out without bending the trim.
