I don't think it looks that bad and I wouldn't try to roll paint it I would have it sprayed.
None of the newer houses have any popcorn finishes. The textured wall finish is called "orange peel". If you need to make a small drywall repair, you can buy a can of orange peel spray from Home Depot, but you need to be somewhat skilled at it. I would suggest that you buy a small piece of drywall to practice before using it in your house.

The ceilings are different type of textured finish that the builder applies with a machine.
