You want to show a 2 level in the left menu.
When you select a different category, start to show for this category all its sub-categories in the left menu (after page reload)?

PS. Fancy Category mod active?
PS2. More needs code file for left block menu (tpl file).

Try not changing your categories.php at all. Then in your x-cart admin -> general settings, uncheck: If ticked, the categories list always shows root categories:
