Answer 1

try removing the height of your logo from you css?
.logo {
display: inline-block;
padding: 1em;
transition: all 0.6s ease;
-webkit-transition: all 0.6s ease;
}
EDITED:
* {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
.menu-container{
background-color: gray;
margin: 30px;
position: relative;
padding: 1em;
}
.logo {
height:10em;
border: 1px solid red;
display: inline-block;
transition: all 0.6s ease;
-webkit-transition: all 0.6s ease;
}
.menu {
float: right;
margin: 4.5em 0em;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: center;
}

Answer 2

Just try doing this to your "menu-container"
.menu-container{
display:flex;
flex-direction:row;
justify-content:center;
background-color: gray;
margin: 30px;
}
