As you go deeper within the Earth, the density and rigidity of the constituent material varies. This affects the speed of the seismic waves, and hence causes them to refract (much light how a light beam refracts when it goes from air to a glass block).

How the structure of earth interior affects seismic waves speed and direction?

The structure of Earth's interior affects seismic wave speed and direction differently at different boundaries. As P waves enter the mantle, they pick up speed until they enter the core, where the wave paths are bent sharply.

Where is the place within the earth where the speed of seismic waves increases sharply?

The place within the Earth where the speed of seismic waves increases sharply is known as the Moho discontinuity, or Mohorovicic discontinuity. This boundary separates the Earth's crust from the underlying mantle, and seismic waves are thought to speed up due to the change in composition and density between these two layers.
