As you reach speeds close to light speed, others see you as being thinner if you're standing up or shorter if you're laying down, meanwhile you see everything outside the spaceship as being closer together. It's called length contraction.

According to General Relativity Theory, as you approach the speed of light, you and all you "attachments" would shrink from the view of a stationary observer. However, just to add to this little ditty, the observers, through your eyes would be altered as well.

When approaching the speed of light, everything gets shorter and shorter.

As you approch the speed of light your neural syapses get slower and slower. You are on your way!

Yes. At 99.9% lightspeed they would be ten times normal size, or four inches

No, it will continue to get smaller until it has no depth
