Injured won't let me press anything
I can can pull, but not press. My idea is I'm going to work squats, deads, rows, pullups and any tricep exercise my hand will allow, but my question is are there specific exercises that would be especially beneficial to keep from losing too much on the bench?

How long are you out for??
Work the lats. They're very important to a good bench.

Definitely.
Take the time to do a whole lot of external rotation, lat (****load of rows) and upper back work (make sure to include face pulls, they are excellent). Too bad you can't do pushups.

Not sure, the palm of my hand feels bruised and it's bad enough that I can't hold a bar confidently. I know that sounds weak, but I was doing bb overhead press and it felt like my hand wasn't going to hold the bar.

Yes, if you want the biggest bench press then every last muscle involved needs to be as strong as possible, low reps for bent over rows, shoulder shrugs, shoulder presses, heavy squats and deadlifts, rotator cuff work...

I have had periodic of pressing issues with the shoulder region. Various movements working the rotator cuff have been working for me. When I stop, it's not long before the pain slowly returns. Here's a link to T-Nation describing the movements and discussing rep/set ranges. Many of these movements I currently use. Takes a bit of time but it has worked for me. http://www.t-nation.com/readTopic.do?id=538204
