Does meander help interlocking spurs form?
No. Meanders are features of the lower and middle course of a river, whereas interlocking spurs are features of the upper course, so the two do not cross. The river may weave slightly, but this is not a meander. It's more like the teeth of a zip, less curved then a meander. A meander is more a feature of deposition, and interlocking spurs are an erosional feature. But no. Meanders do not help interlocking spurs form.
