This is on my 2013 15" i7 running High Sierra. I believe this is the error message I get when it restarts itself, "Your computer restarted because of a problem". Regardless, Below (& in my comment below about it since this keeps warning me about the 5000 character limit) I'll try to post the "more info" . Any thoughts? Thanks for any help!

Kernel Panic Reports are stored in the Folder at:
/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports
If you copy and paste that string into:
Finder > Go menu > Go to Folder
it will take you to the Folder where those reports are stored.
Kernel panic reports are named with Date&Time and start or end in ‘panic’
If you find one, please post as much as you can here, by using the “additional text” Icon in the reply footer (looks like a paper with writing). (Once the report devolves into incessant software-names or incessant Base-64 dumps with lots of AAAAAA lines, you are done.)
Please don’t post more about 20 lines of any other types of reports — they are interminable, and any information useful for this purpose is on the first screenful.
If you post your kernel panic here in its entirety, using the additional text icon in the reply footer, we do have some Readers (typically with developer background) who can attempt to interpret those panic reports. Even if no clear symptom emerges, this can still save a step if you DO need to contact Apple support later, because Apple Support specialists can read the panic reports you posted here, if you tell them what discussion or what Avatar.
I wanted to give an update. I think something might have helped, but not cured the issued. It used to be that the 2013 rMBP would restart every day. After doing all that was suggested here, it didn't need to restart for 5 days. But, eventually it did restart. My original theory was it was a hardware problem. After the improvement, I now think there's likely a software and hardware issue.
Thoughts? Should I get a replacement sometime soon? Now that Apple has killed off iTunes, this computer has a lot I'd hate to lose.

Nothing will be lost, not as far as iTunes is concerned.
What happened to iTunes? - Apple Support (archived)
32 bit apps will not work but iTunes content will remain unchanged.
Thousands of problems sounds "very bad", as they say in Ghostbusters. The panic report should be in my original post tho. It's so long, I had to attach it a way I haven't before, but it's under "More info w crash info"
It took a while (maybe a week) for the MBP to restart on its own again. When it did, there wasn't a panic report, just the screen to sign in. So, does this still sound like a software issue? I'd guess it's more of a hardware issue since there's no report, but what do I know?
Ok, I finally got a crash and copied and pasted the text from it into my Notes app. I downloaded EtreCheckPro as you linked, but I have no idea what it's talking about when I open it. I thought you were saying I should use it to remove private info etc from the error report. Is that not what it does? Also, Is it safe for me to paste the error report here?
oops, forgot the punchline:
if the boot drive gets corrupted (FAR more likely when the drive is almost full),
You can only return your files to the last disk-saved state -- shown as 17 June.
So you are "working without an (up-to-date) Net" until you get some of this stuff resolved.
Oh, the new one. Ok, I'll get it and post it next time it crashes.
Ok, now I get it. Will post shortly.
Above is the new crash report.
And below is the Etre report (I also have screenshots if needed):
Consider downloading and running this little "discovery" utility, Etrecheck. It changes NOTHING. Etrecheck was developed by a senior contributor here, and uses mostly system calls and simple tests to collect often-needed information.
it contains little tests for speeds of devices, CPU utilization, memory usage, energy usage and a digest of recent problems, in one easy to use package. it does not even need to be Installed. Because less can be learned when your Mac is running great, best time to run is when your problems are actually occurring, if possible.
if you follow the directions faithfully, its report (pre-laundered of all personally-identifiable information) can be "Shared" to the System ClipBoard, then Pasted into an ‘Additional Text’ window in a reply on the forums.
Use Etrecheck Pro for free:
The amount of data you get can be daunting. If you POST your report, some Readers here are willing to look over those reports, and can provide valuable insights.
then start a reply on the forums, click the "additional text" icon and PASTE
MacBook Pro keeps restarting and fans likely blowing harder than normal
