Answer 1

I have had this a couple times where the menu item was disabled because of disabling/uninstalling a component and then it not reappearing when the component was upgraded or installed. Likely there is a menu item for it in the #__menu table. Search the table for your component's name (com_helloworld?) as the title. Should find an item there. Make sure that published is set to 1 and that the component_id matches the id for the component in the #__extensions table.

Answer 2

You would need to create a new entry for your component in the #__extensions table.
