The waterline tile appears to be original as the pool plaster likely over 25 years old. There are some loose and missing sections of tile and some gaps forming between the top of the tile and the bottom of the coping, it would likely run 1500+ to repair these areas versus 2500+ to replace the tile complete.
The border coping (brick) also sounds hollow and loose in several locations indicating it is due for a mortar reset which would likely run 1000+
The raised waterfall and waterslide to me seems to be nearing maximum expected life. When I can see through to the foam beneath it does appear that the foam is aging poorly and likely the cause of much of the cracking and structure issues present currently. I would estimate a cost to repair this apparatus of being 5 to 10,000+ or more. In my opinion I do not feel that would likely last longer than 10 years versus a complete rebuild at that same price if not possibly at a lower overall cost.
It does appear that they fully constructed the pool and then added the waterfall as an add-on so it could be more easily removed without a large esthetic issue.
Also note that seen mostly on the north side of the pool, we are seeing the decking settling down approximately one to 2 inches, May require concrete, jacking, or grinding of coping to reduce the trip hazard potential ($1500+).
