The orange stuff is a fungus named cedar-hawthorn rust. This is very very common on young hawthorns that are not preventatively treated with anti-fungals. I would cut off infected twigs, then treat with an anti-fungal like daconil or mancozeb. In future years, to avoid the galls, do preventative anti-fungal treatments about every 3-4 weeks from spring through early summer.

Also clean pruners after every cut when dealing with fungus, we (at my job) cut 6in back on any infection
