I can't see the sun. Which way is south, and which wall is leaning?
Left end; Right end; Outer wall?
Where do you have the comealong run?
I had a similar porch in Ames, made of redwood 4x4s set on a slab on
grade. THe redwood was rotting. I tore it down, and put an addition
on. (not a cheap or quick solution, but a great improvement.)
From What I can understand so far, I think your proposed fixes are good
choices for the assumption that nothing can obstruct the screen windows
One other thought, assuming it is the outer end that has gone south:
2x10 blocking between the center of the joists, and along the end, and
extra blocking where the side posts are.
If you can modify the assumption somewhat: something like a 5/32 dia
cable diagonal with sufficient attachment. If you can straighten it
with a comealong, there is not a lot of force needed to correct it and
hold things in place.

Not really the issue. I don't know that it will settle any more and I
don't think it is going to come back up either.
The issue is keeping the walls fairly plumb when there is no sheathing
on the walls without putting any diagonal bracing in the wall if I can
help it.
