Given that the sum of the first $n$ terms $S_n$ of an arithmetic sequence $\{a_n\}$ satisfies $S_5 = 15$, and that $2a_2$, $a_6$, and $a_8 + 1$ form a geometric sequence with a common ratio greater than $1$,
(1) Find the general term formula for the sequence $\{a_n\}$;
(2) Let $b_n = \frac{a_n}{2^n}$, find the sum of the first $n$ terms $T_n$ of the sequence $\{b_n\}$.
