2013 Ford Edge Sport

I'm considering purchasing this 2013 Ford Edge Sport with 126,000 miles from Indiana. Overall it looks in amazing shape, it's clean, well cared for, it's been garaged it's entire life, and I have service records from the dealer for its entire life showing all required maintenance has been done over its entire life. I ordered a pre-purchase inspection which is pending. The owner's photos show rust on pinch welds and other areas as you can see in the 4 photos. I don't see any rust on the rocker panels. 2 questions:

1) Is this normal surface rust or is it rust that is turning into structural rust or rot?

2) If I buy the car, how do you recommend I address the rust?

Thanks!
