The one from the nut down the neck under the fingerboard is the result of force opposite the string pull. It often occurs when the guitar is shipped with no string tension, coupled with heavy enclosed tuners. Since string tension will tend to close it, it is IMHO the least serious type of headstock crack.
I see no reason for concern about headstock stability once the cracks are glued. I would also use thin CA on this particular repair.
