I see that others have more options for the Layers Panel, such as the ability to change color.
My layers panel Options for Selected contains only:
Lock. Hide.
How do I restore the correct functionality?

Illustrator's Layers Panel name is a bit misleading. It's really a Layers and Object panel - it shows layers, sublayers, and can also show all objects within a layer (if the panel options are set accordingly). The options available depend greatly upon what you have highlighted in the panel when choosing the options.
For example:
If you have an object highlighted, in this case a Path
Note the menu reads Options for "<Path>
"...
You get this dialog showing a name, show, and lock options.
However, if you highlight the Layer rather than the object
Note the menu reads Options for "Layer 1
".
You get the layer options with color and other possible settings.
It would seem you are choosing options when you have an object highlighted rather than a layer.
