There is a very affordable special tool which can be found at many auto parts stores... it is a thin metal plate that will slip behind the panel and dis-lodge the clip off the handle...If this removal tool is not available,try a hook shape scribe which will remove it as well but takes a little more effort and fishing around for the clip

Yes that whole plate needs to come off. Be careful as some of those torx heads are just for show and not actual screws. The door handle also needs to be removed. There are three screws for the handle, usually a torx head. The door panel will then unclip and with the window down you can push in and pull up gently on the upper door trim (hard plastic part) to release the door panel from the door.
