Re: the crater chain, AKA fracture (it could be both, a chain of regolith drainage pits into an open fracture, as often invoked for Phobos)...
Check out this LROC wideangle image of Mare Humboldtianum. By chance it's also today's LPOD. http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/news/uploads/LROCiotw/HumboltianumCxPRegional_anno.png http://lpod.wikispaces.com/June+6%2C+2010 An almost identical feature is seen at middle right, south of the big flooded crater.

OTOH, the lineation could be an immature (or, better, failed) Tiger Stripe of the Enceladus variety.

A distant view, but it's nice to see Kraken Mare in the spring sunshine.

the linear features are secondary crater chains formed by material ejected from large basins. They are seen on Ganymede and other satellites, the Moon, Mars, etc. Ive mapped several of them on Tethys and they point back to specific large impacts.
