nav-menu-template and columns in sub menu
I think it would be easier for you if you’d stick with the old menu output and used css to emulate your submenu columns. You can left-float the elements in your submenu (while giving them an appropriate with – e.g. 33% for 3 columns), which sorts them horizontally rather than vertically, but otherwise will give … Read more
if (has_custom_menu())?
From looking at the Codex, you should be able to just pass the fallback_cb parameter as false to have wp_nav_menu return nothing. So something like: <?php wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container_class’ => ‘menu-header’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘fallback_cb’ => FALSE ) ); ?>
How can I fetch the next level of the currently selected main menu (hierarchical menu)?
You can accomplish this in at least two ways: 1) Via CSS. Use the appropriate class selectors (e.g. current-page-item, current-page-parent, current-page-ancestor) to display the appropriate sub-menu. 2) Separate calls to wp_list_pages().

Setting or plugin for showing submenus horizontally under the main menu, and keep them after selection
Roee, there’s no particular setting or plugin to do that kind of stuff, it’s all about how your theme is designed and developed. You might be able to achieve this using some custom CSS if you’re good enough with that. Basically what you have to do is find out the :hover state of a particular … Read more
