Answer 1

You should be able to find the web element by its link text of "Main Features".

driver.FindElement(By.LinkText("Main Features"));

Answer 2

its hard to understand without screen shot and which one of the element is a dropdown button and what are the option.

if its a dropdown that gets displayed on click then use:

WebDriver.FindElement( By.Xpath( "//*[@class=\"lvl-0 dropdown\"]")).click();      
WebDriver.FindElement(By.LinkText("Main Features")).click(); 

If its a dropdown that works with hover then use :

Actions builder = new Actions( WebDriver );
IWebElement dropdown=  WebDriver.FindElement( By.Xpath( "//*[@class=\"lvl-0 dropdown\"]"));   
IWebElement option= WebDriver.FindElement(By.LinkText("Main Features"));   
Actions hoverClick = builder.MoveToElement(dropdown).click(option).Click();
hoverClick.Build().Perform();
