Violets are tough; try hand pulling. I like a [url=https://www.hound-dog.com/weed_hound.htm]Weed Hound[/url]for my hand pulling (but ignore the violets for the most part; I only really go after dandelions and plaintain).
The grassy one is coarse fescue or tall fescue, which is actually being used as a lawn grass now because of it's drought tolerance and low feeding. Dig it out if you don't like it, but its a grass, it's green and will be all year.
I say pick your battles... monocultural lawns are not healthy, for the environment or your mental well being. Relax a little, it's a lawn, not an operating room. I have violets, self-heal, winter veronica, all sorts of goodies and I leave my grass long to compete with the weeds and every year it gets a little better. And if I don't muck about on the lawn for too long, I have more time to garden, where I can really make my yard shine...
