What the hell is "natural building movement"? Did you get some soil testing done and an engineer's report which told you it was "natural"? If it was "natural" then either:
A. You wouldn't get any cracking, or
B. Pretty much every brick building would get this "natural building movement" and its associated cracks.

No, but it's not going to fix your problem. If you insert reinforcement without fixing the movement problem the reinforcement will just move the stress forces to another place/places in the wall and cause cracking there.

Are they? That's nice.
But plenty of structures have been designed and built without them. In your case they would be like putting a bandaid on a broken leg. If you're a little kiddy then having a brightly coloured bandaid stuck on your "ouchy" might make you feel a bit better but it ain't gunna fix the broken leg.

You need to fix the problem before you can do the cosmetic repairs to the brickwork.
