Margin & Alignment Issues in IE

[profoundly_grey]

I opted to work on another layout since I couldn't figure out how to get the sidebar text to align correctly on my other one, but now I'm having IE issues again with the new layout. It looks perfect in Firefox, as per usual, both when I view it on my paid account and the test journal (smart_spell, Plus Account). So I have two questions:

1) What do I need to add to my code for everything to line up correctly in IE?

2) How can I lessen the width of the calendar on my archive page while allowing the background color of the archive to extend 100% of the width without distorting the table? (I know this is partly because of the fact that background of my subcontent is transparent, but is there a way to do it while also still having my subcontent be "invisible"?)

Anyway, screenshots and code behind the cut (if my questions weren't necessarily clear):
