Answer 1

A Hindu once asked a Sheikh, "Is it true that inside the Kaaba there is a statue of Lord Shiva (one of the Hindu gods) in there?". Hilarious!

Please know that Muslims do not worship the Kaaba or its contents, any more than Christians worship churches or crosses; the Kaaba is simply a focal point for prayer.

Here is an excerpt from http://www.gawaher.com/index.php?showtopic=8656:
In addition, Arabic-inscribed marble plaques are set into the walls inside at eye-level, describing renovations made by previous
custodians of the two Holy Masjids (mosques), according to Brown. Hanging on a rod between the three columns are dozens of antiques, mostly gold dishes, cups, and containers donated over the centuries.

From http://www.soundvision.com/info/hajj/kaba.asp:

What is inside the Kaaba?

Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi is the president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). He had the opportunity to go inside the Kaba in October 1998. In an interview with Sound Vision, he described the following features:

-there are two pillars inside (others report 3 pillars)
-there is a table on the side to put items like perfume
-there are two lantern-type lamps hanging from the ceiling
-the space can accommodate about 50 people
-there are no electric lights inside
-the walls and floors are of marble
-there are no windows inside
-there is only one door
-the upper inside walls of the Kaba were covered with some kind of curtain with the Kalima written on it

Answer 3

Historically when Abraham (pbuh) was ordered by Allah to build the Shrine for worship over a small he uncovered the original foundations of the Kaaba built by Adam. Ibrahim with the help of his son Ismael erected the new shrine on the same foundations. Originally it contained only four walls without a roof . Centuries later during the timeof Kusayi who was the leader of the Tribe of Quraish in Makka a taller building was completed with a roof and a quadrangle wall around it to give it the shape of a sanctuary and doors all around the sanctuary walls. People entered through these doors to come to the Ka’aba for worship. It is now about 60 feet high, 60 feet wide from east to west and 60 feet from north to south. A door is fixed about 7 feet above ground level facing North East. A Black stone (Hajar al Aswad) was fixed into its eastern corner. In front of the building was Maqame Ibrahim, the arch shape gate known as that of Banu Shayba and the Zamzam Well. Just outside are the Hills called Safa and Merwa and the distance between the hills is about 500 yards. These days both of the hills are enclosed into the sanctuary walls with a roof over it.
