Before you go too far consider this.
The drain you mentioned is actually the code for around here.
there needs to be drainage around the high side of every house so it doesn’t flood the basement.
You need to address the waterproofing of your foundation.
You can swale and swallow and whatever you want but if you’re getting water intrusion, you should check the sealer.
whomever did the retaining wall and site drainages on that job sucked ass.
You may consider hiring someone that knows what to do at least in the civil engineering side of it.
You may do the work yourself but when I look at your pics I would cut the **** out that place.
There looks to be too much rolly poley all around your house and no good slopes.
