The dust is water calcification/deposits or particles from some sort of abrasion like crawling over a rock.
See if it wipes off.
The spots are normal. But no one seems top know exactly what they are from.

I raisef two tortoises exactly the same in the same enclosure. one of them got them and one of them didn't. It went away when they got older.
