Since long/triple jump mean you have to learn to cover a lot of distance and training involves plyometric-type stuff, would training for jumps (in addition to regular running training) be helpful for getting faster?

Yes one of the basic fundamentals of sprinting is that you can keep a fast turnover by not reaching out too far in front of your body with your lower leg and not kicking too high in back, while maintaining good stride length by pushing against the ground with more force. Bounding (and some other plyometric exercises) can be helpful for increasing your force production against the ground.
