How were the ancient Egyptian monuments moved?
Most Ancient Egyptian monuments are in the same locations where the Ancient Egyptians built them. Only a small handful (most famously the Temple of Abu Simbel) were transported and rebuilt elsewhere. In the case of the Temple of Abu Simbel, the reason it was transported was that in its original location, it would be in the floodplain of Lake Nasser (an artificial lake that would be created as a result of the Aswan High Dam). The Temple of Abu Simbel was cut up into blocks and each block was numbered, documented, and wrapped for transport, and reassembled on another site. The process was slow and delicate, but eventually, the Temple was successfully moved out of the Lake Nasser floodplain. The Temple of Debod (which was relocated to Madrid as an act of friendship between Egypt and Spain) was transported in the same manner as the Temple of Abu Simbel, but there were fewer pieces going over a longer distance. As for the several obelisks carted out of Egypt in the Victorian period, these monuments are relatively easy to transport whole (similar to Statues and the like) and were typically dislodged from their Egyptian location and brought by boat to foreign destinations like London or New York.

Why are Ramses and Nefertari the same height at the temples of Abu Simbel?
They are not the same height. The temple at Abu Simbel (the Egyptian "Temple of Ri'amsese-meryamun") shows four colossal seated statues of king Rameses II, each about 21 meters high. Each large statue of the king has tiny standing statues of his relatives by his legs, including queen Nefertari, queen Muttuya, prince Amenhirkhopshef and princess Bent'anta. Each of these is shorter than the king's lower leg. The link below shows a close-up of the statue of Nefertari, alongside the king's leg:

How do you get through the ocean temple?
The Temple of the Ocean King in Phantom Hourglass has 19F if I am correct. You can only do a couple floors each visit. If you get the official guide, it shows you when to visit, and a complete map of each floor. Though you can only do a few floors each visit. This is because you either don't have the fairy to open the door, you don't have the Phantom Sword, or because you don't have the item.
