If your menu is generated via wp_nav_menu, you can use a Custom Walker to add a dynamic submenu to a specific item. First, the class, which would go in your theme’s functions.php file, or your own custom plugin: class Walker_Author_Categories extends Walker_Nav_Menu { // we only need to override the function that closes each menu … Read more

So, it looks as though the answer is this: you cannot separately edit a term that’s in multiple taxonomies, but you can remove that term from a taxonomy without removing it from the … Read more
The single_tag_title() function returns the tag title while you need the tag slug or ID for use in query_posts(). This should get you started: if ( is_tag() ) { $tag = get_queried_object(); $tag_title = $tag->name; // Same as single_tag_title() $tag_slug = $tag->slug; $tag_id = $tag->term_id; } http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Tag_Parameters
