In my opinion, you don't need admin menu with D7, but there are some changes, which are nice, but if you don't need them, don't use them.  My rule of thumb is usually to add all modules I KNOW I need, and then as a need arises, I add the module to my list.  That way, if something doesn't jive, I can more easily figure out the culprit.

Try changing to Garland and see if that fixes your problem with Views overlapping.  Or, if you have been doing CSS changes, revert back to the original CSS.  Also note, Views 3 is in beta still.  If you feel like there's a bug or fix that needs to be made, feel free to post it on their issue queue.  http://drupal.org/project/issues/views?categories=bug (Make sure you search for that bug first.  No one likes multiple postings for the same issue).
