Answer 1

Dropdown menu is display: none, so that you need to CSS for that
.contain ul li:hover ul {
display: block;
}
Also, I have added some CSS to display proper dropdown on hover.
.contain ul{
list-style: none;
margin-top: 40px;
position:relative;
}
.contain ul li {
background: cadetblue;
width: 170px;
border: 1px solid #fff;
height: 50px;
line-height: 50px;
text-align: center;
float: left;
color: #fff;
font-size: 16px;
position: relative;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-weight: bold;
}
.contain ul li:hover{
background-color:green;
}
.contain ul li:hover ul {
display:block;
z-index: 10;
}
.contain ul ul{
display: none;
position: absolute;
background: cadetblue;
top: 51px;
left: 0;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
min-width: 250px;
}
.contain ul ul li {
width: 100%;
display: block;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar {
width: 7px;
background-color: orange;
height: 20px;
}
<div class="contain">
<ul>
<li>HOME
<ul>
<li>Welcome Page</li>
<li>Main Page</li>

Your css lacks the display assignment;
.contain ul li:hover ul {display: block;}
