I'd like to repair the tops of these blocks or at least just cover and
level off the entire multi-block surface with cement or similar.

The blocks, being old, are a fairly dark gray color so I suppose I
could go with a mix of portland cement / sand / gravel.

Any thoughts on the correct materials to use and ratios of those
materials?

Thanks!

I'm assuming the blocks were set open side facing up?

Can you put caps on the existing blocks to both raise the top of the
wall and protect the blocks from further damage?

Try a landscaping yard for different style caps, like these:

Mortar them in place.

If need be, you could build a form to hold the mortar in place if you
need to build up sections to get it all level.
