You don't have to if they are properly redirected. I have even seen people using link shorteners for internal links

No need to change if you have already redirected old page to new page.

Yes, I would update them. 301s don't pass all the juice.
Use relative format for internal links so you don't have to do this in the future.
For example:
absolute: https://www.domain.com/inner-page/
relative: /inner-page/

NO, you don't have to do that, just check the status of all the links once. so if you see any impact you can change.
