Is every intelligent species going to be technological? It depends how fast they get how smart. Are they first intelligent enough to want an easier and longer life? Or are they first intelligent enough to decide that they don't need that and change their internal rewards instead?
Absolutely. It is usually self-medication because we can neither figure out how to change a situation nor to adapt to it.

Is evolution the process of optimising a species to its environment? If so should we use technology to change the environment or the species?

There is no question about "should" that can be answered any more at this level. If we can control our rewards we get full choice about what we should.
