Unwanted dropdown menu

My iMac is about 3 months old, when I use the cursor to click, instead of the intended action, I get an unwanted dropdown menu. This happens all the time and is quite frustrating.

The Magic mouse on my iMac continuously skips to the top of the menu when I left click something at the bottom of the menu. Is there a way to fix this? I will left click on something like my bookmarks which are alphabetically ordered. I will click on something in the middle of the list and it will go all the way to the top. Is there any way to fix this?

Hovering shows hidden file names. How do I turn it off? I assume that it's a Macintosh problem and not a software problem but whenever I hover my mouse random file names pop up. The names are of files I've worked on but Im not on top of the file when the name pops up. It's just randomly when my mouse has stopped moving. It happens when Im in other software too like Photoshop or even if Im just on my desktop not running any software (see sample images below). It started happening a year ago and I can't figure out how to make it stop. Im on a 2017 MacBook Pro, with all the latest software updates.

It sounds like you're right-clicking. You may need to adjust settings or behavior.
