Do <h> tags help?

As far as I know the <h1> tag with your keywords helps your ranking but I am curious if <h2> and <h3> also do this?

Cheers

h1 tag has more importance as compared to h2 or h3.
Thanks

Yes, but they should all be used sparingly and wisely. A basic rule of thumb:

<h1> Main headers such as article titles </h1>

<h2> Sub-Section blocks of ideas inside the article topic, mainly consisting of several paragraphs. </h1>

<h3> Sub-Sub-Section blocks such as paragraph titles</h3>

yes , basically use h1 for your main keywords , and h2/h3 for your secondary keywords or LSI keywords
