Try this:

<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>

example:

<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/title-icon.png" alt=""/>

In css its called the margin. You can try adding this, or editing your current css file. That is a huge pain to google. Pulled this off my css.

img.left {
float:left;
margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;
}

There is also an entry for img.right. Just replace left with right for that one. Hope this helps.

I’m no php expert but:

You can access the current category from the global variable $cat . I’ve used it before but for example <?php $my_variable = $cat; ?> I cant seem to get to it right now but http://codex.wordpress.org will have information on it if you just search for $cat .
