Jonathan,
I do not consider lean to be an agile approach (and certainly not a methodology), it existed before agile as approach was coined and focuses on efficiency.

Knowing about lean and agile and Scrum is helpful.
Lean thinking applies everywhere - all industries and all types of work. Agile is well aligned with lean principles and frameworks such as Scrum will benefit accordingly.
