SEO & Responsive sites: is two idential menus ok?

We are looking at revamping a site, away from www and m., to just one responsive web site. However because of the design of the site, we are looking at doing the main menu and submenus twice.

So on Desktop it appears on the left, but on the mobile version, that would be display:none and the mobile version would be shown.

Is this bad?
Does Google see two menus?
Is Google bothered?

Also I hear that Javascript dropdowns are bad for SEO - is there a CSS only method that Google can see? As I am thinking that dropdowns only really work on Hover, effectively, and Bots won't be able to "hover".

What is a "data-alttag"?
I've read that HTML5 can have text embedded - how is it done?

Per the W3C
Custom data attributes are intended to store custom data private to the page or application, for which there are no more appropriate attributes or elements.
See also jQuery.data

So is this used for embedding text in images, for search engines? Or just for Admin use?

It can be used for whatever you like. I've used it with Google Maps, Foundation uses it for navigation. It can be handy for passing back-end data to JS.
