Answer 1

There may be couple of reasons for the behavior: 1) Security inheritance is broken between your parent and child sites (not necessarily a bad thing but a reason for different expectations) And

2) Make sure your master page changes are checked in and published.. in other words latest version of master page should be a major version like 1.0, 2.0 etc
