That is because your div#side is 200px wide, plus 1px border, is
201px wide. The container is 800px wide, so there is only space
for a div#content of 599px, not 600px.

I don't know what you mean? You've set a line-height of 25px on
div#content, but since there is only one line in there, it's
difficult to see the effect of that. Be aware though, that 25px
may not be enough when someone is increasing their font-size.
Best set line-height in ems, or leave it out.
(btw - you have an unfinished line in the styles for body)

You can if you have an extra inner div inside the divs you
already have.
Say you have a div of 200px wide. Adding a padding of 5px, would
make the div 210px wide.
To avoid that problem:
<div id="side">
<div id="inside">
bla bla
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#side{width:200px;}
#inside{padding:5px;}
