They are all correct to me, except the word order of the second one, which should be either "lo tenemos que ayudar" or "tenemos que ayudarlo".

Edit: well, actually the third sentence is only correct if "los" refers to the sandwiches. If "los" refers to "a los amigos de papá" then I think it is incorrect, as that meaning of "servir" doesn't take a direct object. If you omit "los sandwiches", and say only "servimos a los amigos..", you should probably say "les servimos". To say the whole sentence, replacing each object with the proper pronoun, it would be: "Mi hermana y yo se los servimos".
