How did the Battle of Bunker Hill bring the colonists closer to independence?
The June 1775 Battle of Bunker Hill brought the American Colonies at least one step closer to independence in several ways. For one thing, it instilled confidence in the colonists that their forces could stand up to the legendarily stalwart British soldiers. For another thing, it hardened British resolve to refuse any concessions to the tentative rebellion; in turn, this steeled the Colonies to their cause, and the Revolutionary War soon escalated into full-fledged hostilities that resulted (after years of conflict) in a number of significant victories.

Yes. The fighting was mostly on Breed's Hill, which is lower than Bunker Hill and closer to Boston, and is in between Bunker Hill and Boston. The Patriots were supposed to take a position on top of Bunker Hill but when they got there they realized Breed's Hill was better, so they pushed on to that neighboring hill.Within a few days after the battle patriot printers printed up a "broadside", a single broadsheet description of the battle and sent that off by express riders to spread word of the battle. They incorrectly identified the scene of the fighting as Bunker Hill in this broadside, and the error took root.
Why was the Battle of Bunker Hill called the Battle of Bunker Hill if it took place on breed's hill?
Breed's Hill, or Charleston Hill, is part of the overall structure of Bunker Hill, being the closest part of the peninsula to the Charles River, across which is central Boston. The American commander, Colonel William Prescott, had actually been ordered to build his fortifications on Bunker Hill, and opted for the closer position to the river. In retreating, the colonials crossed Bunker Hill moving up the peninsula to the northwest. (see related map link)
