Why would a bank offer refinancing at a lower interest? Is any money saved at all, or is it just paid on a different timeline?

Mortgages are paid on a reverse amortization schedule, meaning the bulk of the interest is paid in the first 10 years of a 30 year loan. If you refinance 5-10 years into your mortgage for a new 30 year term that interest heavy payment cycle starts over again.
