One of the key features of jazz standards is their chord progressions. Until the bebop era, these progressions are fairly simple as they are based on similar patterns. It really helps having a deep harmonic understanding of those early standards to play more complex progressions.
Often students learn the melody of a standard and the chord progression independently. That’s a big mistake! Study the relationship of the melody with the chords. The answers to most of your questions are there!
