How does Mac handle that on multiple screens? Does it stretch the menu across them both?
No. But in the "Displays" preference pane, you can drag the menubar onto whichever display you want (i.e., make any display the "main" display, on-the-fly). I believe the dock always goes on the same screen as the menubar.
Or do you have to move back to the main screen when accessing the menu for an app you're using on a second screen?
Pretty much. (There are, of course, workarounds with macro apps like iKey, etc.)
However, any item can be moved to any screen (including, as I said, the menubar). You can also (if you want) stretch a single window across multiple screens, and use a combination of regular and rotated displays. Robert Patterson's the guy to ask about this, though, as he uses both multiple screens and screen rotation.
I use multiple screens, but only with mirroring -- I have one screen on my desk, and another (mirrored) screen bolted to the wall above my digital piano, so I don't have to crane my neck around to see the main screen when I'm doing note entry.
