Answer 1

Something like this (taken from one of my apps). The activity in this case extends SherlockFragmentActivity.

    @Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(com.actionbarsherlock.view.Menu menu) {
    menu.add(Menu.NONE, R.id.ID_ACTION_EXIT, Menu.NONE,R.string.action_label_exit)
    .setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_close_clear_cancel)
    .setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM);
    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(
        com.actionbarsherlock.view.MenuItem item) {
    switch(item.getItemId()){
    case R.id.ID_ACTION_EXIT:
        Main.this.finish();
        return true;
    default:
        return false;
    }
}

The R.id.ACTION_EXIT is placed in res/values/ids.xml

[EDIT] Try this then (extends SherlockListActivity). You have to do some editing first. This code comes from the Sherlock demos. You should download them.

    @Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    SubMenu sub = menu.addSubMenu("Theme");
    sub.add(0, R.style.Theme_Sherlock, 0, "Default");
    sub.add(0, R.style.Theme_Sherlock_Light, 0, "Light");
    sub.add(0, R.style.Theme_Sherlock_Light_DarkActionBar, 0, "Light (Dark Action Bar)");
    sub.getItem().setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS | MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_WITH_TEXT);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    if (item.getItemId() == android.R.id.home || item.getItemId() == 0) {
        return false;
    }
    THEME = item.getItemId();
    Toast.makeText(this, "Theme changed to \"" + item.getTitle() + "\"", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    return true;
}
