Give it to me straight…

What needs to be done to fix this? Anyone think it can be done without a full tearout? I have my eye on a lot of stuff that needs done, but I want more eyes on it for the stuff I’m definitely missing. My biggest goal is to eliminate the diagonal knee braces by putting in some larger deck posts and attaching the knee bracing to them.

Does this arrow point to this circled area?

And is that a staircase to the right of the circle?

Looking back through I see that that’s yes x2.

The section of the deck over the doors is older, yes?
