The 'bubble' has moisture inside of it, if you do not remove the paint and rust layer, it will grow larger. If the rust is completely through the panel, then there will be a hole and nothing short of welding in a new piece of steel will help.

Wear gloves and a mask if you sand it down yourself. The entire body was zinc treated at the factory, and zinc is quite harmful.

Most of the rust on these cars could have been prevented by an annual coat of paste wax applied in September or October. Especially the rear lift gate on wagons.
