Question

Any idea how to get this kind of format? I'm struggling to get a consistent indentation after the section names (0.1, 0.2, etc)

It looks to me like the screenshot could have been produced with the help of the enumitem package and its newlist and setlist macros.

documentclass{article}
usepackage{newtxtext,newtxmath} % optional -- Times Roman text and math font

usepackage{enumitem}
newlist{spenumerate}{enumerate}{2} % 'spenumerate' -- short for 'special enumerate'
setlist[spenumerate,1]{label=bfseries thesection.arabic*}
setlist[spenumerate,2]{label=bfseries alph*.}

begin{document}
begin{spenumerate}
item 
  begin{spenumerate}
    item a
    item b
    item c
    item d
    item e
    item f
  end{spenumerate}
item 
  begin{spenumerate}
    item A
    item B
    item C
    item D
    item E
    item f
  end{spenumerate}
end{spenumerate}
end{document}

The "standard"* configuration method for setting the enumeration label format is redefining labelenumi (top level), labelenumii (nested level), etc. Sticking to that basic method gives
documentclass{article}
% theenumi is arabic{enumi}
renewcommandlabelenumi{textbf{0.theenumi}}
% theenumii is alph{enumii}
renewcommandlabelenumii{textbf{theenumii.}}
%
begin{document}

noindent Hello there. This line shows the left margin.
begin{enumerate}
item
  begin{enumerate}
  item odd
  item even
  item even positive
  item multiples
  item pals
  item empty
  end{enumerate}
item
  begin{enumerate}
  item alpha
  item bravo
  item charlie
  item delta
  item echo
  item foxtrot
  end{enumerate}
end{enumerate}
end{document}

I don't know that your "0" refers to, but you probably want it to give some other counter value.
Note * "Standard" in the sense that it is the style of the built-in document classes. List environments like "enumerate" aren't defined in basic LaTeX., but in the document class.
