The indented menu items start with tabs, but there are still two of them.
tell application "System Events" to tell process "TextEdit" to name of menu items of menu 1 of menu item "Writing Direction" of menu 1 of menu item "Text" of menu "Format" of menu bar 1
You can specify some shortcuts like Format->Indentation->Increase in 10.8 (or >Format>Indentation>Increase in 10.7), but it doesn't help in this case.
You can enable shortcuts for changing writing direction in System Preferences:
I searched in Spotlight as well, using the term “Untitled” and reopened all the Rich Text Format documents from iCloud. Yes, it was unnerving that these are all in the cloud but I am grateful that I was able to recover them all. And now I have the task of saving 120 untitled docs!

The bars shown are scroll bars. Go to System Preferences app → General and under Show scroll bars: select When scrolling.
It's likely that either Always or Automatically based on mouse or trackpad option is selected, which is causing the scroll bars to appear.
With When scrolling option selected, the wide borders will no longer be shown. The scroll bars, when displayed will be narrow, translucent and will disappear moments after the scrolling is complete.
