I am able to reference other parts of ThemeBuilder when I use Confluence's default theme, but not menu macros. Any way around this?

Yes, they will create an unordered list which is free from list items that do not contain a link, and will also remove duplicate separators ... this is their function.

Builder uses it's own css/js inclusion ... the resources system used by confluence adds to the latency of the page since each include needs to be downloaded separately.
Builder on the other hand compiles the inclusions into single js/css resources, which reduces the latency experienced by the browser.
To get the {menubar} macro to work in a non builder themed space you will need to include the js & css manually.
