The outpouring of help here was amazing! I thank everyone for their responses. :/

In case someone else is having this problem. I'll post here how I solved it. It's probably very straight forward for someone well versed in CSS, but I know enough CSS to get myself into trouble - so it wasn't very obvious. I searched the Internet and all I could find was countless others pleading for help with this issue.

Child Theme is Terragon (not that it makes a lot of difference, but just for info sake)
Plug-In is WPNewsman Lite
Creating an opt-in form on my pages (excluding the home page) that is horizontal and resides in a widget Top Feature.

The plug-in generates a short code, so you have to alter your functions.php to execute short codes in a widget - pretty straight forward and help for this issue is plentiful.

Once you copy in the short code to the widget, the CSS that needs to be altered is:
.newsman-form-horizontal or .newsman-form
.newsman-form-el-1
.newsman-form-el-2
(use Firebug to find the exact classes as they might be different depending on how many forms you have created)

Add your background image to the first class and move the elements around by setting margins for the next 2 classes.

I think I was making it way harder than it ended up being and probably easily obvious to someone else, but it sure had me stumped for several days! Glad to have that behind me! Hope this helps someone else.

Again, thank you to everyone who offered help and/or suggestions! 🙁
