These functions have an $in_same_cat argument, that would appear to suit your needs? EDIT: Here is a Plugin, WP Category Archives, that might point you in the right direction? It purports to display: …a monthly or yearly archive of … Read more

(The “Home” link you’re seeing is the default home link output by wp_page_menu().) Go to Dashboard -> Appearance -> Menus, to define and apply a custom navigation menu.
