Assuming your simple products are "Catalog, Search", you can simply only assign the configurable products to the top category, and only the simple products to the sub category. Also, make sure the top category is not set as an anchor category.

Magento – Simple Products not Tied to Parent Configurable Product

If a product doesn't show on frontend, you should check the following: - Status (should be enabled) - Visibility (should be Catalog or Catalog, Search) - Category association - Website association - Inventory (qty and Stock Availability)

If all these are configured correctly, and products still don't show up, you should check if you have installed a custom module that may affect product visibility on catalog pages.

In quote item table magento have sku and product id. For Configurable product's cart , 'sku' is simple product sku and product id is configurable product 'id'. SO, you need to load product by sku

<?php foreach($this->getItems() as $_item): ?>
 $_Configproduct = $_item->getProduct();
 $simpleProduct=Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->loadByAttribute('sku', $_item->getSku());
echo $simpleProduct->getId();
<?php endforeach ?
