No, not for a voluntary reclassification, unless the MOS is in the MOS Conversion Program (currently only 79R).

You can qualify for a Tier 3 or higher bonus if you change your MOS while in your reenlistment opportunity window (15-months from ETS) when reenlisting for Option 3 (Army Training) for three or more years.

Yes you do after you are MOS-Q. Meaning once you complete AIT for new MOS. That goes for any MOS Reclass if there is a bonus available

This is not accurate...you only get a retention bonus if you reenlist for training (within reenlistment opportunity window); not reclassification (outside reenlistment opportunity window).
