HELP please =)

ok so i got hacked this theme to death and i am not done..
i added the navigation using categories and child cats but its not in the order i need it to be in..i tried to code it manually using include and each cat in order but the child cats would disappear..so the php i have wasnt working

<?php wp_list_categories('include=287,36,191,58,286,285,255,284,282,283&title_li=');

the code i have now is

<div id="menu">
<ul id="nav" class="clearfloat">
<li><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/" class="on">Home</a></li>
<ul class="children">
<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&title_li=');
$this_category = get_category($cat);
if (get_category_children($this_category->cat_ID) != "") {
echo "<ul>";
wp_list_categories('orderby=id&show_count=0&title_li=
&use_desc_for_title=1&child_of='.$this_category->cat_ID);
echo "</ul>";
}
?>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

that is issue #1

and #2 is the nav/header alignment i have played with the css for hours to no avail..one side is perfectly aligned and the right is off
