From my dealings with home inspector they will just mark the area as a concern and suggest you speak with a foundation or structure engineer. They will take take pictures and then make some sort of brief comment "typical cracks for the age of the house and foundation" or " cracks appear to be more than surface and should be viewed by foundation or structural eng"

At best the best Home Inspector can only guess at what is at work with the foundation.

From what you've described I would be very hesitant to agree to a purchase of this property without a documented and warranted (transferable to you) remediation of this problem.

Sometimes a deal that seems too good to be true is precisely that, too good to be true.
