The way to find out what item is selected is to use a different function for different menu items. This seems to be callback driven.
How do you close a menu? I'm honestly not sure why your example doesn't work as expected. I downloaded and ran the example successfully, but no amount of tweaking to your application worked for me. My honest suggestion would be to find a different menu library; this one seems to have a number of other issues, including throwing a NameError whenever the menu tries to quit pygame.
