How to format a multi-level drop down menu

I wanted to use the following drop down on my webpage:

Html:

<div id="mn-wrapper">
    <div class="mn-sidebar">
        <div class="mn-toggle"><i class="fa fa-bars"></i></div>
        <div class="mn-navblock">
            <ul class="mn-vnavigation">
                <li class="dropdown-submenu active">
                    <a tabindex="-1" href="#">Client Advice</a>
            <ul class="dropdown-menu">
                <li><a tabindex="-1" href="#">Pre-advice</a></li>
              <li><a href="#">Strategy & Technical</a></li>
              <li><a href="#">Research</a></li>
              <li class="dropdown-submenu active">
                <a href="#">APL & Products</a>
                <ul class="dropdown-menu parent">
                    <li style=" border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;">
                                        <a href="#">Approved Product List
                                            <span aria-hidden="true" class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus pull-right"></span>
                                            <span aria-hidden="true" class="glyphicon glyphicon-minus pull-right" style="display:none;"></span>
                                        </a>
                                    <ul class="child">

<div class="container" id="mn-cont">
    <div class="cnt-mcont">
        <h1>Title Page</h1>
    </div>

CSS:

.dropdown-submenu {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;

    position: relative;
    padding: 0;

.container {
    margin-right: auto;

.cnt-mcont {
  background-color: #F6F6F6;
  color: inherit;
  font-size: 13px;

  padding: 15px 30px 30px 30px;

  padding: 0;
  border-top: 1px solid #1a1c20;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #2f323a;

    content: " ";
    float: right;
    width: 0;

    border-color: transparent;
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: 5px 0 5px 5px;

    margin-top: 5px;
    margin-right: -10px;
}
.dropdown-submenu:hover > a:after {

}
.dropdown-submenu.pull-left {

}
.dropdown-submenu.pull-left > .dropdown-menu {

    margin-left: 10px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 6px 0 6px 6px;

}
ul.dropdown-menu.parent {
  margin-top: -1px;
}
.bottom-mn {
    bottom:0px;         
    position:absolute;
    width:100%;
}

JS:

$('.child').hide(); //Hide children by default
$('.parent').children().click(function () {
    event.preventDefault();
    $(this).children('.child').slideToggle('slow');
    $(this).find('span').toggle();
});

But, when I hover over any list item and another sub-list opens, then I don't want the black part to extend till the end of the screen, I want that when I hover over a list item then a new list extending only till the last list item should occur. What do I change in this?

Also, when I try to use margin-left in the .mn-sidebar in CSS, then the dropdown shifts to the right, but a bullet symbol appears before the first list item (outside the dropdown menu), why is that happening? I want the dropdown menu to appear a bit on the right.
