Thank you! I cannot believe I was so blockheaded as to overlook the clears set in the custom CSS by the designer. There's .clear {display: none;height: 0px;} and .clearfoot {display:none; clear: both;}; once I deleted everything but the clear:both on the latter, my problem cleared (pun intended) right up.
And I know nothing about the calendar overrunning my sidebar, haven't noticed it, though I've been working on the calendars in the sidebar and on .view-archive a bit, but I'm not done with either yet, so I'll look into that. Thanks again!
ETA Damn, sorry for five edits now, I think, but I just discovered something I might as well share for posterity's sake: .clear clears the #maincontent side of the page and deleting it is not good for this particular layout; on .view-entry pages doing so opens a huge gap between the previous/next linkbar up top and the post title. It also adds about an inch of extra white space to the bottom of the page. To clear the sidebar, editing .clearfoot alone does the trick.
And ding, ding, ding: we have a winner.
