leveltitle will always point to a page in the rootline of the page you are
currently viewing.
What you need is the parent of a page that is currently rendered in a menu,
which is something completely different.
So leveltitle, leveluid, levelmedia won't work at all.

But it seems you do it a bit complicated anyway, since every page record
already got the information you want:
There is a field called pid (short for: parent id) so this should work

typolink.parameter.field = uid
typolink.additionalParams.field = pid
typolink.additionalParams.wrap = &section=|
