The action will be a result of the height of the nut, the height of the bridge, and the amount of relief in the neck.

Your action lower down the neck does look high to me. It's hard for me to tell if that's due to the bridge height, or also due to the amount of neck relief.

If you can find a reasonably-priced local tech or music shop, I'd suggest taking it to them for a check-up.

Action, to an extent, is due to the height of the bridge. Which does look like it could be lower. It's way higher than the bridges on my guitars, but I do like as low an action as possible. The strings look like maybe .011 - 054 ish, so again, there's not a lot in your favour for learning to play barre chords. They are heavy-ish and will present more tension making them difficult to hold down. G string problem may be because it's wound, and will be tight compared with a plain G, although wound is commonplace on acoustics.

If you don't want to change to lighter strings, tune down a tone. It will make the strings easier to barre. but the bridge needs lowering. If it's a fixed bridge with no adjustment, it's a job that can be done, but not then undone! Go too low, and there will be problems.

Get a second bridge and make it slight lower than the one on it. Than replace the first bridge with that one. If it helps great if not you can put the other one back on. IMPORTANT; You just want to replace the ivory part of the bridge - not the wood part. You can find the part at a local music store. Anything else would be too risky by a non-luthier.
