How can I get a list of the "Top-Level" browse nodes at Amazon.com?

A2S doesn't directly define any top-level or root browse node. There is an IsCategoryRoot element in the browse nodes information response that identifies some of the top-level categories, but you can't query directly for those nodes.

You can download a list of top-level nodes at BrowseNodes.com. The nodes don't change often, so it is probably safe to "hard-code" the values in your application.
