Answer 1

I just changed one or two things to show you my approach, should be fairly simple for you to understand this as you got this far.
I added a class of .active (your old selected)
#navigation a.active
{
background-color: #097Abf;
color: White;
}
And I added the following Jquery to add and remove that class from the link when you click on it.
$("#navigation a").click(function(){
$("#navigation a.active").removeClass("active");
$(this).addClass("active");
});
HERE IS A FIDDLE
