It is very hard to put a precise figure on that. After WWI, the Allies set the figure for their own damages on 22 billion pound sterling - at the much higher value the Pound Sterling had then compared to today's value. At the time it was however generally assumed that this amount also included 'punitive' damages.
Germany as the defeated party of course never was invited to assess its own damages.
Germany formally paid off the last of its WWI damage payments in 2010.

What was a major failure of the European and US policy in rebuilding Germany after World War 1?

Germany was virtually untouched by war in the First World War,
hence no rebuilding effort was necessary or undertaken. Germany
signed an armistice to end the war before the Allied troops reached
the German borders. In fact, the German public was unaware of the
reasons for the armistice. Germany needed extensive help rebuilding
after WW2. It got this help from primarily the United States.
Google the Marshall Plan. The effort was a major success, although
it would take over 10 years to get Germany back on its feet.
