oh boy ~ I'd start by cleaning the dog first. A mixture of liquid dish washing detergent, baking soda and hydrogen peroxide would do the trick.
Normally clothes that get a direct hit of spray have to be pitched ~ if they've just picked up some residual odor from the air, I'm thinking that you could add some baking soda to the wash and remove the smell that way. To air out the house, open the windows and put a box fan in one window facing out.

I grew up in the country ... getting sprayed by skunks wasn't all that uncommon. The tomato juice doesn't work very well. You need to oxidize them ... chlorox. Yes, I know this will take the color out, but the only other option is to burn them.
As for yourself, the odor will disappear in a day or so after the top layer of skin cells come off (naturally).
Your hair is the big problem! But, if you'll shampoo several times with baking soda, that helps.

Tomato Juice. You need to give your dog a bath in it. I don't know about your clothes though. I wouldn't want to wash my clothes in Tomato Juice.
