Both these offences, i.e., Section 279 IPC and Section 337 IPC are bailable offences, which means that bail will be granted by the police itself immediately on arrest, if at all arrest is made. So, you should not worry about bail.
Secondly, offence under Section 337 IPC is compoundable with the permission of the court, and it can be compounded / compromised by the person who got hurt. However, offence under Section 279 IPC is not compoundable, therefore, it cannot be compromised.
