RE: trouble adding extra line to master page header
The ruling line is most likely now behind the expanded header text frame. You can grab it by dragging a box around it - be sure you start outside the header text frame and do not completely enclose the header frame with the selection rectangle. Or, you can select the header frame and send it to the back via the graphics menu. You will then be able to simply click to select the line. Another possibility, although it does not seem as if this is the case from your description, is that the 'header' paragraph format has a frame below set to display the line. If that is the case, simple add your desired second line of information in the header and the line should reposition automatically. I find the latter case to be 'poor design' as this will result in an uneven appearance if you have some master pages with single-line headers and some with double-line headers.

That setting grabs a frame containing the blue line from your reference page. Right. To add another line of text to the header, create a new second header line paragraph style and add your blue line to the Frame Below that paragraph. Select None for the Frame Below the first paragraph line. The trouble with this solution is that you have now removed the line from every other header that has just one line.
