Yes. Maybe your book is saying singular for "puedo?" But yes, le would be serving one person and les more than one.

Yes... that is talking about serving, or helping, more than one person. It would be "servirle" to mean "you" singular and formally... or "servirte" to mean "you" singular and informally.
