Even if you were to winch the garage straight and brace it, every nailed joint has flexed. Nail two pieces of wood and bend them to see what that looks like.

If you are just using it for storage, and you aren't in an area where a storm is going to cause a big tree to come down on it, I'd wait until the house stuff is handled. it's a problem but its not a "gonna fall down tomorrow and kill you" problem.

is the brick on your house a veneer or structural? The patches where doors used to be are amazing... looks like a trade school practice run.

Edit: you might be better off tax-wise converting the deck to freestanding. Since no permits were pulled, it's not been assessed. Where I am at least a freestanding deck is not considered a permanent structure and does not raise property taxes.

From the pics it looks like you could sink some concrete and put footers at the end of the beams against the house pretty easily.
