There is only one version of the Quran. Allah swt has promised to protect it from any tampering by humans. But The Holy Quran has been traslated into different languages to make easy the readings of those who did not understand arabic. Note : Translations is not the same as Versions.
Yes the Quran contains Arabic names like Ibrahim, Yusuf and many more.
p/s always willing to answer :) thank u for asking.

The quran is segmented into what are called Surah's (114 of them) which i guess you could liken to the bible's books.
The Quran doesn't contain complete books as the New Testament (what was given to jesus) and the Old Testament.(Moses) In other words you won't find the OT and NT in the quran. However, you will find the Quran with stories such as moses, pharoah, noah, Jesus, Mary..... Names are different.

No, we don't have any other books like bible. Our only holy book is Quran. However, we have a book called "Al-Hadith". Al-hadith is a collection of things our prophet Mohammed has done and advised persons to do.
The characters in Quran are not fictional. They're all real and true stories. All characters in Quran have arabic name: Prophet Isaa (Jesus in Bible), Prophet Musa (Moses in Bible), Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), Prophet Ishaak (Isaac).
Please feel free to ask any other questions you might have.

no, Holy Qu'ran is our only book, but we have commands of our prophet which are written down (not in the Qu'ran). it is our divine book . and yes, we have Arabic names:
Moses:Mosa
Adam:the same (Adam)
Daniel:Dawoud
Jesus:Aisa (sorry, it is spelled wrong)
it was a pleasure to answer you :)

I'm not Muslim but I've read both the Qu'ran and the Bible. See in order to be a wise and great King, one must view all aspects of religions and cultures, not just the narrow dogmatic view of one!! And, yes they don't have the examples you listed above! (or similar)
The entire Qu'ran is a whole song, and Muslims don't suppose to listen to music!! Its contradictions in the Bible and the Qur'an both!!!
