Problem #2 first:

View | Layout. Check:Show Preview Pane, Below Messages, and Show Preview
Pane Header.

Problem #1:

Do you now have the Inbox, Sent Items, Outbox, Drafts and Deleted Items? If
so, are you missing any folders you created? Do you know what was going on
when they went missing?

How do I get all my folders back? At present there is only one folder
namely Inbox but I want all of them so that I can click on them and see
what is in them.

Also, how do I reset (perhaps to default settings) Outlook Express so that
I have all folders on left hand side, and the right hand side is divided
into two: the top part lists all my emails and bottom part previews the
message that is clicked on.

I seem to have messed up everything and I need to get back to as it was
before.

Thank you.
