Looks like a beautiful instrument. Could have been made with electrification in mind. For an acoustic/electric, the maple top might help avoid bad feedback. It certainly wasn't made for strumming acoustically to fill a concert hall with sound .
Frets are easy to do. (Hard to do well, however.) Can't comment on the bridge unless you take a pic with a straightedge on the neck to the bridge. The saddle, it is true, is really tall.
Cracks are also fairly easy to fix. Main issue would be the neck angle (which may be why the saddle is so tall.)
See if you can check the neck angle...
