It is higher or lower that the outside air?

The temperature would still depend on external temperature, just that wood isn't a good conductor of heat, so it takes a while for heat to build up, and be released, tree trunks are also generally shaded by its own leaves, and the water tranportation from roots to leaves also cools the trees as its on the outer ring of bark on a trunk. Some trees even have unique "coolant" liquids that prevent water from freezing in winter, so tree can still survive.

It depends on a lot of things. Generally speaking, when it is really cold outside, the inner part of a tree is warmer than the outside temp. When it is really hot outside, the inner part is cooler than the outside temp. It is insulated and that is just a natural reaction. I think the biggest factor in this would be the size of the tree and type. Some wood is more dense than others, helping it to maintain it's inner temp while others are very thin and may not. Hope that helps.

You can't go inside a tree unless it is a humongus talking tree with a terrible curse on it.

depends on where the tree is...and what kind of tree.

depends if the tree is on fire or not.
