Link reorganizing and redirects

I realized recently my efforts to organize my site had no effect on my actual site link structure because setting up navbar categories doesn't affect the urls. Oops! So although I have sections such as Services and Technology etc, everything is flat like this (with exception of blog):

homepage

-- service1

-- service2

-- about

-- technology1

-- technology2

After reading about proper site structure it seems I should reorganize to something like this:

homepage

-- services/service1

-- services/service2

-- about

-- technologies/technology1

-- technologies/technology2

I have about 8 pages on services and technology.

Question 1: Should I do this change? I looked at my competitors and they are not doing this.

Question 2: Anytime I change a page url I create a redirect for the old one with a 301. This means Google will still see the old url structure. Does this mean I won't get the benefit of the new structure?

Question 3: Is there a benefit to interlinking pages? Like services pages can point to each other. Same with technology.
