IF am not wrong you are looking only for LEVEL 2 category Ids. If so the code below helps you

   $categoryCollection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/category_collection')
                 ->addAttributeToSelect('*')
                 ->addAttributeToFilter('level','2')
                 ->addAttributeToSort('name', 'ASC')
                 ->addIsActiveFilter();
        foreach($categoryCollection as $cat){
            echo '<br/>'.$cat->getId().' | '.$cat->getName();
        }

To Get both Level 2 and Leve 4 catgories just use 'in' operator to filer your collection as shown below :

   $categoryCollection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/category_collection')
                 ->addAttributeToSelect('*')
                 ->addAttributeToFilter('level',array('in'=>('2','4')))
                 ->addAttributeToSort('name', 'ASC')
                 ->addIsActiveFilter();
        foreach($categoryCollection as $cat){
            echo '<br/>'.$cat->getId().' | '.$cat->getName();
        }

Use the code below

$children = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->getCategories(Mage::app()->getStore()->getRootCategoryId());
foreach ($children as $category) {
    echo $category->getId();
}
