The plan though is to sell the house in two years and I wouldn't want to sell anyone something that wasn't built right,You would want to lay the concrete / cement below the leveler in all of the cracks (don't count on the leveler to fill them), then use schluter ditra below the flooring if you're going to use tile.Ditra is expensive but worth it - https://www.homedepot.com/p/Schluter-Ditra-54-sq-ft-3-ft-3-in-x-16-ft-5-in-x-1-8-in-Thick-Uncoupling-Membrane-DITRA5M/100143471Otherwise, based on the info given, I would focus on drainage and monitor the situation.
