Henrik, That crack (number 1) does does not look to well. It´s very rare that they crack all the way to the soundhole. When you get your guitar, we´ll talk a bit about how how to avoid these things. The problem is that where you live, humidity might change very fast. from 80% to close to nothing within one day. Guitars stay in their cases, and get yourself a hygrometer. It´s not expensive and it´ll tell you when to worry. If you use a lot of central heating when it´s very cold and dry, you might need a humidifier. (It´s good for yourself as well, avoids cracks in the body[8D]). The good thing is that I have a guitar in Chicago, where it is extremely dry in winter, and it´s holding up very well so far. Another thing is that my workshop is controlled. I have aircon, humidifier, dehumidifier, 2 hygrometers etc, so the guitar should be prepared, but no instrument made of thin wood survives the harsh changes of your climate if you dont take care. Don´t worry now, we´ll figure it out.
