Here’s a question for the sage and wise. With servo mode engaged, there is a constant drain on the battery I presume, when walking about with camera slung over the shoulder. Would that be the case, if one was in the habit of simply pressing the menu button so that the LCD is showing the menu options instead of the live view when walking about?

Servo mode will only engage the AF when you are half pressing the shutter, or if enabled, using back button AF.  You might be thinking of "Continuous AF", which was probably enabled by default when you bought your camera.  Continuous AF, as the name implies, will run the AF continuously whenever the camera is turned ON.
