Re: Brick displacement
I can see where the bricks moved from where originally laid.

I can also see the mortar which has fallen back into the now-larger-mortar space.

I can also see patches where the movement has been repaired previously, then more movement.

Big deal? Probably not.

Has it stopped moving? Probably not.

Is that movement critical and cause for a failure? Probably not.

Sure are a lot of 'probably not' in there. A structural engineer could be overkill, but it would also cover your but when it decides to move again.
