Not sure what your showing. Looks to be pyramiding and dry. They should have some higher humidity and soaking every day in warm water for little ones. The brown I believe is substrate? in the growth lines. Other then that I don't really see any other big concerns then what I mentioned above.

It just looks like something stuck on the shell. Something thin, like a piece of onion skin or whatever. I wouldn't worry about it. Get it wet, then pick it off.
