When searching for my main site's title using the Website's name, I see about 5 sitelinks under the description. Does this mean Google respects your site?

At the beginning of the sitelinks "program", it certainly was a kind of special thing for a site to be be awarded sitelinks - and it still is if you have sitelinks on a generic search.

At this point, I'd say Google is trying to display sitelinks as a navigational aid to the user, and Google is doing it almost any time that a search is entered for a full domain name. If psople are familiar enough with a domain name to perform a "navigational search", that already means you're site has a degree of special-ness - and that's what my take is on seeing sitelinks show up.
