Conditional Tag Problems

Hello everyone.
 
I’m building a quite complex site at the moment, and I’m having 2 problems with the conditional tags. I know how to use them, and have used them successfully in past designs. Here’s my problems:
 
1, The current site I’m developing calls for a div to be loaded but only for it’s corresponding category. It works fine on the main parent category, but I also want it to show on each sub-category under the main one too. So I want it shown in site.com/category/services and site.com/category/services/more. In-fact every sub-category under the main one.
 
Here’s the code I have now which is in the archive.php file:
 

<?php if (is_category('services')) { ?>
	<div id="services_panel">
		<!-- Image is loaded from CSS -->
		<p><?php echo category_description(get_category_by_slug('services')->term_id); ?></p>
	</div>
<?php } ?>

 
 
 
2, The conditional statement which works in the loop just before the posts will not work outside the loop. I want to load a sidebar that corresponds to the category the page is displaying.

Here’s that code too, also in the archive.php file.

<?php else : ?>
		<h2>Not Found</h2>
	<?php endif; ?>

	<div class="grid_4">
		<?php if(is_category('services')) { ?>
			<?php get_sidebar('services'); ?>
		<?php } else { ?>
			<p>if/else didnt work. =[</p>
		<?php } ?>
	</div>	

<?php get_footer(); ?>
