I have some tile thats layed on top of lightweight concrete-condo- that
has some cracks in the grout. Some crack go all the way around the
tile, others just on one side. Are there any easy repairs for this?

Have you tried filling the cracks with thinned grout (thinned with water).

No, I have not. I need to find some to match the color. Any ideas?

Cut-out as much of the existing grout as you can. There are special
hi-speed diamond bit grinders for this purpose to make the job easier.
Once you cut a groove, then use a good grout with acrylic additive to
fill it in.
