what do you define as structural intuitive power?
to me "intuitive ability" means "anticipating how a strcuture will behave".
1) will help a little, but textbook problems are usually complete (in the real world you have to assume stuff) and idealised (real world problems usually don't present themselves in such a neat and orderly description).
2) yes, get a job (presumably you're a recent grad.) and learn.
3) no ... you shouldn't model untill you understand the subject.
4) i suspect that your "native ability" needs to be awakened by some expreience (otherwise you wouldn't be asking this question).
good luck
experience, experience, experience.

to increase one's intuition, try to anticipate or predict a certain behavior before calculating anything. calculations will show how close or far off you were with your intuition. over time, your prediction will get closer and closer to the true answer.
