    1.how i add my won logo image in header section on the left of the header?

    You copy header.php from your theme and paste it into your Child Theme directory. Then within that Child Theme header.php file, edit it and place something like:

    <div id="logo">
     <img src="/path-to-image/image.png" alt="myLogo" />
    </div>

    You can style it afterwards.

    2.how to add main menu? please clarify

    All themes should provide this functionality, not sure what you mean.

    Sorry, that question is too vague.
    If you have a specific query, feel free to open a new thread to discuss that.
