Answer 1

Please use following Css to Highlight selected/ active/ Current menu item

.menu ul ul{padding-left:10px;}
.menu ul li.active a{font-weight:bold;}
.menu ul li.active ul a{font-weight:normal;}
.menu ul li.active ul li.active a{font-weight:bold;}

This will work 100%.

AFAIK the active menu position should have a special css class assigned to it. The class is probably called "active". You can target this class with some css rules and you should be done.
