Left side date and graphic

I have a few questions for customizing the theme.

My blog is theuniversalasian.com

What I want to do is move the date, leave comments and edit up to the top which had moved to the bottom when I added the white background text box…. I would like the white background text box to be rounded as well.

Another point is that the graphic seems to have disappeared from the upper left side when I changed the background color as well as the flags in the left column next to the post title.

Can you please help me with these either in the CSS or the basic page html?

Also, is it not possible to access the html for this theme through the wordpress.com site?

Thanks for your help!
