What exactly does defragmenting your HD do? Does it just organize the files?

Basically, yes.
To put it blunty, it defragments files 
When you put a file on your harddrive windows looks for open space and where ever it finds a big enough block it sticks it there. A nearly full drive will fragment faster than a mostly empty one. Defragmented takes all the files and makes them take up adjacent blocks instead of being spread all over.

Its kinda like putting a deck of card back in order!
