Need Opinion on the Issues listed

I was pursuing a house in the past. I was not able to put a contract on the property as I was told someone already has an active contract on it. Later I was told the property is available and the original party has withdrawn the contract based on the result from their inspection. The house is now available. I just want an expert opinion on the verbiage below. Have anyone seen an issue like this before or how much can it cost to fix or is it fixable at all. Please assist...Thanks

2, the front side exterior wall has a horizontal crack at the bottom. The horizontal crack also has a movement about 5/8 inch. It seem the soil lateral force pushing the foundation wall into the house. This needs to be checked by a professional engineer or a soil professional. Repair by a foundation contractor is needed.

11, horizontal crack and movement (inward) are observed on the basement block foundation wall. (In the basement utility room – unfinished area.) The steel beam in the middle of the house is out of plumb. The movement at the foundation wall is about 1 inch. It is a structural concern. A professional structure engineer should be called.
