Answer 1

Close your <select> tags and it should work better ;-)
Note that a for loop would be more appropriate in your case.

Answer 2

Note that you don't end the <select> tag. I'm not sure how browsers would respond to that, but it definitely wouldn't help.
One helpful tool in these scenarios is the View Source tool that all major browsers have: instead of being confused about what's appearing on the screen, look at the HTML that the browser received to see why it might be showing what it's showing. If this is the issue, the source code would have revealed it lickity-split :)

Answer 3

You didn't close the select tag. You probably also want to make the name and id attributes different for each select.
function select_nom_of_guests($guest_type){
$i=0;
echo $guest_type;
echo "<select name=\"adults_num".$guest_type."\" id= \"select_".$guestType."\">";
while ($i<=5){
echo "<option value= $i>$i</option>" ;
$i++;
}
echo "</select>";
}
