        I couldn't see the first picture but this section of your MozReport is simply notices.  Not warnings or issues.  They are letting you know what they see them.

        Verbiage from an actual report:

        "Notices are interesting facts about your pages we found while crawling."

        This section also has facts about 301 redirects.  "Roger" is simply telling you that they are in place on your pages.  It does not tell you if they are correct but only that they exist.  It's up to you to make sure that your 301s, canonicals, etc are correct for your intended use of them.

          As Darin says, I wouldn't worry too much about notices.
