In Kindle Formatting: The Complete Guide Joshua suggests using hr tags, and perhaps italics, to separate sidebars from regular text. He does use HTML tables with a background color for shorter pull quotes.

mobi does not do CSS at all. The mobi creation program can interpret some CSS but only marginally. I suggest you read the link that Wallcraft pointed to.
