Roofs may not have to be removed to improve ventilation. Check with a professional roofing carpenter. Eave and peak vents can be installed without redoing everything. (On the other hand, if it is year 18 on a 20 year roof...)
If you offer them a copy of the inspectors report, they'll find themselves in a bit of a pickle - they have to report to all potential buyers anything they "know about". They know a lot now...
That's how I managed to keep the deal alive for my home after discovering issues with the property. Partially it was because their first buyer had already withdrawn and I was the second, and partially it was because with the laundry list my inspector found, they would be stuck telling new buyers about a very long list of issues indeed.
On the other hand, expect some push-back. And be cautious if they offer to merely fix things themselves in return. That would be "lowest bidder" stuff. I got bitten by that with this house, too.
