First time home buyer - signs of water and cracks in basement

Hello all,

Clearly signs of water and cracks in basement during open house viewing. The owner have stated water has been an issue in the past but the installation of a sump have resolved issue. No french drain just a sump is my understanding. I am concerned with cracks as well....any thoughts? The house was built in the 60s and is in greater Boston area. Any feedback is appreciated. Also, if you are able to perform inspection with additional photos I will be willing to pay for the work.
