Weld it from the back side. The added thickness will add strength and let's you finish the exterior side without making it too thin to last.

Whatever you do as a next step in the repair process, the first step is to drill a small round hole dead center at the end-point of the crack; this will prevent it from propagating any further into the hood after the chosen repair.

I disagree. A proper mig weld will prevent it from advancing.
