Having root world-writeable looks a bit suspicious,
especially if you don't remember doing it yourself. :)
The 't' bit on a directory just means that deletes in that
directory are restricted to the superuser or file owner (as
opposed to anyone with +w permissions to the directory).
I'm not sure why that would affect sudo, or ls for that
matter, unless it's something funny with how opendir() works?
You could try turning off the odd permsisions:
chmod o-wt /
chmod g-w /
and see if anything changes.
