Hi
The last looks like Monopis weaverella (Tineidae). I'll have a think about the Torts (or leave them for someone else).

Yes to Cnephasia sp. If you measure it and work your way through the literature you may get closer. I've never really studied them.

Yes to Light Brown Apple moth.

The third is a Monopis species and I would call it weaverella.

(Cross-posted but at least the same identification!)

All the best
