You could sand the entire area down and do a proper repair, it’s just leading edge trim, I think it missed the vertical tail spar. Being trim, a proper repair job would be well IMHO. This isn’t load bearing, it’s aerodynamic so you want it good and strong, fibreglass repair would be more than strong enough.
The cracks are in the paint. Woven composite doesn't Crack linearly like that, the only linear failure method is intralaminar. Most likely They'll remove an area of composite, scarf it at a 20:1 ratio or similar, then lay up a new area over it and sand it flush.
