Answer 1

edit catalog/view/theme/<YOUR_THEME>/template/common/header.tpl

Find:

<div id="menu">
  <ul>

Add right below:

    <li><a href="<?php echo $home; ?>"><?php echo $text_home; ?></a></li>

Answer 2

Even you can add your custom menus too in the top navigation bar

edit catalog/view/theme//template/common/header.tpl

Find:

<div id="menu">
  <ul>

Then

<li><a href="YOUR_LINK">Menu_Text</a></li>

And also you can add the Pre-defined menu like Information, Customer Service etc..

Information menu

  <?php foreach ($informations as $information) { ?>
      <li>
            <a href="<?php echo $information['href']; ?>">
            <?php echo $information['title']; ?></a>
      </li>
  <?php } ?>

Service Menu

 <li><?php echo $text_service; ?>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="<?php echo $contact; ?>"><?php echo $text_contact; ?></a></li>
      <li><a href="<?php echo $return; ?>"><?php echo $text_return; ?></a></li>
      <li><a href="<?php echo $sitemap; ?>"><?php echo $text_sitemap; ?></a></li>
    </ul>
 </li>

Extra Menu

<li><?php echo $text_extra; ?>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="<?php echo $manufacturer; ?>"><?php echo $text_manufacturer; ?></a></li>
      <li><a href="<?php echo $voucher; ?>"><?php echo $text_voucher; ?></a></li>
      <li><a href="<?php echo $affiliate; ?>"><?php echo $text_affiliate; ?></a></li>
      <li><a href="<?php echo $special; ?>"><?php echo $text_special; ?></a></li>
    </ul>
</li>

Account Menu

<li><?php echo $text_account; ?>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="<?php echo $account; ?>"><?php echo $text_account; ?></a></li>
      <li><a href="<?php echo $order; ?>"><?php echo $text_order; ?></a></li>
      <li><a href="<?php echo $wishlist; ?>"><?php echo $text_wishlist; ?></a></li>
      <li><a href="<?php echo $newsletter; ?>"><?php echo $text_newsletter; ?></a></li>
    </ul>
</li>

The Above mentioned Pre-defined menus are working only in the footer area, to add this in top navigation you have to do some changes in header.php
