my SASS style is not being applied when I nest them. I don't understand why, they work perfectly when not nested. I've never encountered this issue before and it seems strange that it would not apply the styling this one time. It also works when I remove the :nth-of-type(1) portion. I find this a bit odd, since I specifically need to divide it with for this one "shop-sec" and others. Thank you.

I'm currently making a website for a school project that requires a menu bar. The menu bar changed to black whenever the cursor hovered over it previously, but recently stopped and now only changes color when it is selected/clicked.
I'm very new to html and css so I know my syntax or method of positioning my elements/divs may be poor.
But if there are any tips or guidance on what I should do to fix this problem, that would be great.
As pointed out in the comments, the div with class bannerpromo2 is getting in front of the menu, blocking hover and clicks.
As for the strange behavior you are getting when "inspecting", there is no magic there. Since bannerpromo2 is positioned relative to the bottom (it has bottom: 470px;), the position could be changing when you "inspect" it, because the developer panel opens from the bottom of your browser window, thus changing the bottom property of bannerpromo2.
If you want to see all of that in play, give bannerpromo2 a background color:
.bannerpromo2 {
background-color: green;
/* ...other props */
}
EDITED JSFIDDLE
The goal to display a transition upward height when the button is hovered, but this line of CSS .btn-position:hover ~ .bg-transit { height: 430px !important;} seems it expands downwards instead upward. Is there a way to transition UPWARD?
I dont want to add any JS to it.

.position-btn:hover ~ .position-box-info selects all siblings .position-box-info that come after a .position-btn:hover. Since .position-box-info is actually the parent of the .position-btn element, nothing gets selected. In fact, you can't select a parent from a child, so you either have to add a class with javascript or change your HTML.
Also, you seem to miss a </div> closing tag.
I have a div called title-inverse that I put a different background color behind than the container it sets in. The container is black and title-inverse has a white background color. I am wanting the white background color to stop right after the title ends.
Does anyone see what I am doing wrong?
Where the blue is in this image is where I want the black to be.

Here's an updated HTML. I've replaced the inner <div>s with a definition list <dl>, which isn't entirely meant for this use, but since you're having 1 on 1 relationship with heading and price, it can be used for this. I also removed the <p> inside the last <div>, since that is not a paragraph in any way, and you can position it inside the <div> (no need for a wrapper, really). I didn't do the CSS, but it should be fairly simple to reformat it to fit the new HTML.
<div class="infobox">

I'm trying to create the image in the link with only html and css. There are a number of elements that would need to "stack" on top of one another.
I am having a difficult time understanding inheritance, nesting, etc. Here's the code I've written so far:
.heart {
position: relative;
margin-top: 20px;
background-color: #000000;
opacity: .8;
width: 65px;
height: 30px;

My concern is how to properly place the heart dialog, the text container, and the image overlay. I seem to be misunderstanding proper inheritance syntax or structure.
Use position:absolute; on heart dialog, text container, and image overlay elements and then position them correctly with the left and right properties.
Absolute positioning and z-index are the key words involved in stacking images with HTML and CSS.
I went ahead and mocked up your image with some html/css to give you an idea of implementation.
Z-index is not relevant in this particular example since you only require one layer above the base, which is automatically given to you with absolute positioning, however if you had multiple layers you would need to set the z-index to a number value where lower numbered z-indexes appear at the bottom and higher z-indexes appear at the top.
Here's my code, hope it helps:
body {
background-color: grey;
}
.container {
position:fixed;
height: 500px;
width: 700px;
background-image: url(http://i.stack.imgur.com/MS8X8.png);
background-position: 46% 52%;
background-size: 150%
}
.hearts {
position: absolute;
background-color: rgba(149, 165, 166,.5);
color: white;
right: 40px;
top: 15px;
padding: 15px 25px 15px 25px;
border-radius: 15px
}
.blue {
width: 550px;
height: 500px;
background-color: rgb(102,173,255);
float: right;
}
h1, h5 {

text-transform: uppercase;
}
#quote {

Understanding the stacking order
In your case, the natural stacking order will do the job; this is nicely explained over on the MDN. The main thing to understand is that elements will overlap those that come before them in the markup. This is better explained with a simple example:
div {
position: absolute;
background: red;
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
.two {
background: blue;
top: 10px;
left: 20px;
}
.three {
background: green;
top: 20px;
left: 40px;
}
<div class="one">1</div>
<div class="two">2</div>
<div class="three">3</div>
With that out of the way...
Let's make these!
Feel free to jump to the complete example at the end of this answer!
Want to use some pedantic semantics?
A <blockquote> element to wrap everything together in a semantic container.
A <nav> element to contain the back and forward navigation
A <cite> element that contains the name of the person quoted
Our markup now looks like this:
<blockquote>
<p>Don't You think that if I were wrong, I'd know it?</p>
<cite>Sheldon Cooper</cite>
<a href="#" class="love-counter">
<3 123
</a>
<nav>
Previous
Next
</nav>
</blockquote>
The CSS
Main background image and color
These can be placed as a background on the blockquote itself. You can use background-size to ensure that the image always has the same dimensions. (It will obviously distort images which have an incorrect size)
blockquote {
background: #18a0ff url(image-url) no-repeat;
background-size: 170px 490px;
}
Add the transparent grey background and quotation character
This can be added with a absolutely positioned before pseudo-element of blockquote. The element is stretched out with left / right / bottom along with a width that matches the image. The transparent grey overlay and transparent text is provided by rgba color.
blockquote:before {
content: '\201C';
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
padding-top: 30px;
font-size: 2.4em;
text-align: center;
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.7);
width: 170px;
color: rgba(255,255,255,0.3);
}
Align the main quote text along with its citation
In order to incorporate smaller quotes, it could be more visually pleasing to vertically center the main text. We can use the display: flex property along with justify-content to easily achieve this; the flex-direction: column property stacks the main quote over the top of the citation. The blockquote is also given left and right padding to appropriately position it horizontally.
blockquote {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
flex-direction: column;
padding: 0 140px 0 200px;
}
Position the back / forward navigation and love counter
These are easily located with position: absolute along with the appropriate left / right / bottom / top properties. They will look something like this:
.love-counter {
position: absolute;
right: 20px;
top: 20px;
}
nav {
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
bottom: 20px;
}

You might consider a javascript method to shrink the font size for larger quotes.
