I'm using AWS Cloud9 to learn how to develop a web server, but the main file menu is stuck in the ~/environment/ directory. I am trying to use an Apache HTTP Server for this "project". Is there a way I can change the main directory it shows on the left to the apache install location, /var/www/html/?

The area I'm talking about is the area highlighted in yellow in the picture below.

Another issue with this is that I can't open the file at /var/www/html/ in the Ace editor either. I'm assuming this is because it is in a root directory.

I'd even take a solution on how to change the website's directory from /var/www/html/ to /home/ec2-user/environment/ as nothing I've found via google has helped.

Yes, you can change the root directory of your Apache server.
