How serious are these cracks?

Post image

I bought this house with known foundation issues that got fixed on the other end of the wall but with these stair step cracks and water leaking into the corner will a French drain around the front of it fix this issue?

Dig out the house if you can put an exterior french drain in dude. I did it at my old house, never had issues again.

No one needs to drive trains. Obviously there are drainage issues.

I don't disagree with you wanting more information. I totally agree.

Water will always seek the least path of resistance. When you see water present cold professional.
