Do I need to worry about this class ="current" issue?....
I also did not set up a global for my header.html instead I just handcoded each menu on the templates...Should I set up a global header.html for the website to work perfectly when Im completely switched over?

Do I need to worry about this class ="current" issue?..

If your design doesn't need to highlight the current menu, feel free to skip it.

I also did not set up a global for my header.html instead I just handcoded each menu on the templates...Should I set up a global header.html for the website to work perfectly when Im completely switched over?

Once again, it is your call. Couch does not mandate or impose any restrictions on you. Using a global snippet is a convenience so that you need to make changes only on one location. Your method will work too but in case something changes you'll have to make the changes in all the templates.

Use whatever seems convenient to you.
