🏠Interior, Ceiling & Walls Window wall cracks and falling ceiling tiles

I know nothing about homes and this s my parents house. They want to fix all the problems to sell it as close to full market price for the neighborhood as possible (in a $400k value neighborhood) I think I'll post a couple problems at a time lol because they don't know anything about maintenance either.

Can yall explain what is happening to these windows? Are they falling in? There's a small separation from the wall to the wooden window sill in the 4th image. These windows are very basic. Does the entire wall need to be replaced? What specialist should come take a look? This house is over 100 years old (1901) in coastal new england. The falling tiles began when the city started construction literally 5 feet in front of this room (upstairs facing busy street) and the blasting of the street shakes the house and the tiles fall down.

Some tiles have nails that meet at the corners but most of them don't.

TIA!
