2. How to use a Shovel
3. Concrete Crack Repair
Seriously though, have you noticed any damage and if so, what damage?
It looks like an old cedar and they love water and foundation/downspout drain lines. Probably have more compromised than just the foundation here.

There also appears to be a block-out under the footing in that area for what appears to be cable passage in addition to the crawlspace vent that would weaken the wall section too.
I agree with Hokie here, just remove the tree and patch and sack the concrete wall.

Those cracks look pretty minor given how large that tree was.
