IE problems, entry links?

[minamoto]

Hello! I'm working on a layout, but I'm kind of really CSS-inept and ran into some trouble. ;; This is on/for a basic account. I have two questions:

1. My layout displays all nicely the way I want it to in Firefox, but in IE the sidebar's over to the right of the entries and I have no idea why. I'm okay with it since it still looks acceptable, but ideally I'd like it to display the same in both browsers. Is there any way to fix this?

2. I have no idea what these links are actually called, but how can you get links to "Add to Memories | Track This | Edit Tags" etc. at the bottom of the entry (one example being this very community). I recall seeing a way to do this with a theme layer, but is there any way to do this in CSS?

Here's my codes so far (live preview @ videlicent):
