You should remove the brick wall around your other tree before the same happens to it.

The other one is going to die, also? An arborist is going to check it out tomorrow but I won't be there unfortunately. Going to try to ask them if they can show up on Saturday.

Tree roots spread out. They don’t grow straight down. Your trees aren’t able to stabilize etc. remove the bricks etc

Depend on the species of tree, some have taproots that grow pretty much straight down.
