Answer 1

Yes, you need to make a 301 redirect from all urls like site.ru/tasty to urls site.ru/food/vegetables/tasty.
There are many ways to do this, the easiest of which is to install and configure the Redirection plugin .
You can also make this site.ru/tasty url non-canonical, and this site.ru/food/vegetables/tasty url canonical using the rel=canonical attribute, you can read more about it in Yandex.Help .
In your case, it is better to use a 301 redirect.
