Currently, mp3tag shows the individual tracks in my Music folder on my NAS, and I can see the path so can work out the album and artist structure but prefer if the files were presented in their folder. Can mp3tag display tracks in my Music folder on my NAS in their respective artist/album folders?

I am not quite sure what you want to do:

When i set the directory to my NAS music folder where all my tracks are, mp3tag shows all the individual tracks found. I'm trying to establish if mp3tad can display those tracks in folders (artist) and sub-folders (album) like Windows explorer.

There is no folder tree in MP3tag if you are looking for that.

See e.g. here:
