Hey there LeeDee - how are you today?
Moving or renaming a file will not affect the shared link that you generated. This means that anyone who has access to the shared link will still be able to access the file if you move it to a different location in your Dropbox folder or if you rename the file.
I hope this clarifies matters and please let me know if you have any further questions.
PS: The Public folder's functionality has been removed since 2017 - you can read below for more information: https://www.dropbox.com/help/files-folders/public-folder

I'm wondering whether a Link to either a File or Folder I've shared with a Client changes, if I rename or move this File or Folder anywhere on Dropbox?

I tried this myself, being curious at your question. The last part of the dropbox link is actually your file name.
I removed an 's' on my file AFTER I shared a dropbox link. Interestingly, although my link has an 's', the URL still worked! Also, the entire URL containing my filename removed that 's' like I renamed it.
