Also, I've upload some other photos regarding the
bark "sores" as I forgot to post them this morning. These things are on
every branch. Any idea what it could be?

It looks rather as if the tree has been 'barked' at some time, i.e.
branches have been cut or torn off carelessly, taking some of the bark
with them. Or rabbits have nibbled at it when it was a much smaller
plant. The other thing could be canker but I don't *think* so.

If it's been barked, there's nothing you can do but trees can go on for
a very long time with that comparatively small degree of damage.
