    How old is this house? If it is a newer house, that seems like a sign of shoddy masonry, though it doesn’t look new in those photos, so probably not relevant.

    Those cracks don’t look that bad to me, and I have heard the rule of thumb of not worrying too much about cracks thinner than a pencil in old masonry, but idk

    What I can comment on is that I doubt that level of shifting was caused by the drainage based on the info you have presented. It could be caused by the tree and that is something to assess
