Deflected Lintels on Multiple Windows

This house has several major issues wrong with it but there are 2, I am unfamiliar with. 

1. There are 5 deflected lintels. The sway is visible to the naked eye

2. There is a spot on the brick exterior wall that you can move with your foot. In my limited understanding it seems like the aforementioned brick needs to be reattached.

It is my belief that the damage to the lintels, bricks and the internal water damage is due to the roof. We have a roofer going out to give us an estimate on it. 

My question is are either deflected lintels or the spongy brick a deal breaker. If you've dealt with this how much did it cost and how much time did it take to resolve it?
