issues with header links/modules

Hello everyone,
I'm very new to drupal, I just installed it on a website for a client, and Im having a few issues.

First off im having issues with links in the header. on the website www.dooransboarsnest.com the header has all the links that are in the right block navigation bar, I dont want any links in the header bar. I checked in the blocks settings and there is nothing for the header bar, How can I get rid of them?

Change standard text

I'm getting ready to upgrade to 5.1. I'm using 4.6 and I've created tons of little tweaks to standard modules and core files, and I want to avoid doing this again in 5.

Is there a way to change display text in modules with tweaking the modules themselves? For example, I want to change to text "Next forum topic" without editing the module.

Thanks!

best method for node-aware Portfolio Nav [3 levels] with projects in multiple nav items

As a Drupal newbie (PHP ignoramous), I'm finding a million ways to do any one thing. The purpose of this post is to find the best method. I've put some thought into this so it is well documented for others.

PROBLEM:

I want to display my portfolio with a node-aware (a ".here" class and deactivated link) submenu WHILE CONSIDERING portfolio items falling within multiple categories (Project A below).

FOR THE REST OF THE SITE, HAVE USED:

For the rest of the site, I have done the following:
1) Setup Basic "Main Site Nav" menu
2) Added "page" content which automatically finds the parent menu item
3) Use Menu Trim to trim the submenu to JUST the current section pages. Works great. Yay Drupal. (Still don't have node-aware submenu, though.)

The problem with this is that everything in the site only has a hierarchy of 2 while PORTFOLIO HAS HIERARCHY OF 3. For example, my complete site nav is like this:

ABOUT & CONTACT
 -About Me
 -Contact Page
SERVICES
 -Services Offered
 -Services Process
RESUME
 -Work History
 -Education
PORTFOLIO
 -Identity
 -- Project A (in both web/ID)
 -- Project B
 -Web
 -- Project C
 -- Project D
 -- Project A (in both web/ID)
 -Photo
 -- Project E
 -- Project F
