There is a new and random crack on the bezel of my macbook air. Will this cause structural issues?
I cannot afford to replace it as I was told it would $475 and up. Is this a cosmetic issue, and can i do anything to stop it from spreading or "remedy" it.

There's no way to answer your "future possibility" question as nobody can know what the future holds for your Mac. My guess is if the flaw suddenly appeared, it will propagate until whatever unbalanced stress causing it is finally relieved, But that's only a guess.
As to structural integrity, that depends on the exact nature of the crack; some are cosmetic, some are structural and I'd imagine only Apple can tell which yours really is.
Apple has given you the remedy.

This is what the crack looks like. I now have a black line on my screen when it is in a certain position, but i can move the display and the line either gets worse or goes away.
