Answer 1

You need to select the values from your table

$mysqli = new mysqli($host, $user, $passwd, $database);
$result = $mysqli->query('select county_id, country, county_name from selling_counties');
$countries = array();
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
    $country = $row['country'];
    if (!array_key_exists($country, $countries))
        $countries[$country] = array();

    $countries[$country][] = array($row['county_id'], $row['county']);
}

and put these in your html select.

Update to add county_id in :
