Actually two questions but the title would be too long...
The first is, how do I best fix the gap between the garage floor and the wall? Housefix? Some angle iron? I have a car-in port so it feels like it has pulled the wall away from the slab.
(apologies for the temporary mouse net)
The second is how do I best address the slope from the garage slab and any potential quickfix. It's quite a steep and hard edge. Best would probably be some kind of casting? Quickfix a couple of pressure-treated ramps (scrap wood)?
Well, sure there are some holes in the wall itself but the biggest concern is between the slab and the wall. It feels like the wall has torn itself away from the slab, has a car in port that probably puts a lot of strain on it.
The edge down from the garage can be easily solved with cold asphalt.
For the crack against the wall, you can probably mix a little concrete and toss it in, right? The hole in the wall you'll likely need to saw out neatly, frame behind it, and screw in new plasterboard.

If your "car-in port" manages to mess up your garage, I think you have bigger problems than just holes in the drywall
Do you know the measurements of the studs in the exterior walls and how the sill is attached to the concrete slab?
I have 95 x 45mm + 45 x 45mm on vertical studs + 145 x 45mm in the sill/header with a heavy swing gate.
It has stood flawlessly and upright for over 1 year.

I myself have 95 x 45mm + 45 x 45mm on the standing studs + 145 x 45mm in the sill/hammer beam with a heavy swing gate. Has stood flawlessly and upright for over 1 year.
Wreck and wreck, I see the gap flexing when the door opens and closes. Additionally, it looks like the wall itself is outside of the slab, which I find strange. Perhaps the stud has rotted at the bottom, causing it to come loose? I’ll simply have to take a closer look at this. It’s a 1970s house that used to have a swing gate but was changed to Car-in by the previous owner.
When I study your pictures, I see that the distance between the ground and the outer wall (wood) is minimized
What were the designers in the 70s thinking

Now, I don't want to blame the previous owner but... The reason could very well be that the paving stone at the front of the garage is too close to the wall (and end grain) in terms of height. A little snow on that and the moisture stays quite effectively.
