Answer 1

The only code I see that has hover is here:

.navbar-inverse .nav .active > a:hover{
       background-color: transparent;
}
.navbar-inverse .nav .active > a:hover{
      color: #14486b;
} 

First you should combine these elements, go through your css and clean it up some, no reason to have those separated.

To your question, that is the only :hover elements I saw, in which case you are targetting any anchor with hover state that also has the .active class which is inside .nav class, inside .navbar-inverse class… You are targetting the :hover incorrectly, the active class applies to only one link at a time.

You should have something more like:

.nav li a:hover {}

EDIT:

Found the culprit further down.

Theres a hover state in bootstrap.css on line 4740 that is over-writing your styling. Try putting a !important on the hover you put in, also make sure your style sheet is included beneath the bootstrap.css. You could also edit the bootstrap css directly.
