Answer 1

Here's a start (in some mix of JavaScript and pseudocode):

function createMenu(data) {
    create UL
    for each item in data {
        create LI for item in UL
        if the item has subpages {
            append createMenu(item.subpages) to the LI
        }
    }
    return UL
}

function findByID(data, id) {
    for each item in data {
        if(item.id==id) {
            return the item
        }
        if item has subpages {
            if findByID(item.subpages, id) is not null, return the result
        }
    }
    return null;
}
