Tommy, what looks like the door being racked could be a shadowing issue at the top of the door - might just be how the light appears to be hitting it. But you might be right as well, though nothing else with the house looks off at all.

I believe a porch like that might be poured as a slab without any footer, just like a patio would be poured. It doesn't appear that it's supporting any part of the house so no footers would be necessary.
