I had my bathroom redone last year. Everything is still perfect except for this one tile that popped up just a little bit.Visually it does not bother me at all, but the cracks in the grout worry me and do not look water tight. There are some hairline cracks away from the main cracked up area where the tile is raised. I would like to repair them, but I have not done work with grout before. Should this be an easy fix if I allow the one off tile to lay as it is? What tools and other items would I need?

You can remove the existing grout with a grout saw. Your local hardware stores should sell one.
The catch here is re-grouting. You can buy pre-mix grout in pints at some big-box stores, but be prepared for it to not match your existing grout. You may need to saw all the grout out and redo it afresh.
I would remove the toilet first, however. Make sure that tile isn't loose because of the toilet, or improper mounting
