The offside Na5 and bare kingside are the strategic hints for white to begin the attack. What do you suggest for white?

FSIM December 2012 Budapest HUN (5.5), 06.12.2012
Position 1
Black has declined the normal central break(…d5) in favor of the rare flank advance …a5-a4. How should white play now?
White to Play
Position 2
The position is a bit more defined now after 19…ed. How should white play now? What about taking the d-pawn?
White to Play
Position 3
Black is fully active after 24…Re8 but so is white. Material favors white with a knight for two pawns but the queenside is shattered. Black has activity on the e-file and the dark squares and is well placed to resist. How should white continue?
