My set detects and switches automatically. If it's 16x9, bip, the screen converts to the correct shape.
Let's say I click on a 4x3 bonus feature from a 16x9 menu, zip, the monitor adjusts to the correct shape as well. Then back when the program's over and the menu cycles back.
I've got a Loewe Aconda, but I'm told that most if not all 16x9 sets have an auto detect option.
As for menu encoding, many companies will encode both 4x3 and 16x9 menus on the disc and the correct one will be accessed depending on your player settings.
The defaults on most monitors are 4x3 and 16x9 mode and authorers wouldn't expect someones set to be in zoom or another mode as a rule of thumb.
As for why 16x9 menus, I would think that other than being aesthetically pleasing, it helps prevent 4x3 burn-in on monitors, if the menu is left on for a significant time especially if they are motion menus.
