I am adding imenu in the menubar. Can one add help information
when the mouse is on the imenu menubar ?

You can customise the imenu code if you want different text in the
menu.

Agreed, but how ?

Redefine the functions involved.
I would argue this is what Emacs is all about. If some function
re-definitions are common then the function author may abstract
out those variations to variables (a form of parameterisation),
but in my opinion changing the value of such a variable is still a
redefinition of the function by indirect means, and so in the
absence of such a variable you still have to do the same thing by
direct means.
If a convenience variable has been provided, great. (A hook is an
example of this.)
If not, just redefine the function.
And if you think your redefinition may interest others, then maybe
parameterise the function and submit that code.
Cheers,
