Yes they do, there are Isis cults worldwide.. Even in Pagan England the Isis worship flourished.. 5,000 yrs ago in ancient Egypt the pictographs and hieroglyphics depict Isis as a mother with her son Horus and husband/brother Osiris. One in particular which I cant remember off hand where this temple is , shows the 3 of them in an almost "nativity" scene. With the great sun god Ra shining down on Isis , it almost looks as if Isis has a halo above her head.. Many scholars believe this to be where the Christians copied their Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus idea.. I tend to agree as I know a lot of what the Christians copied and now deny , as to them its been this way forever. I work with these Gods and Goddesses in certain rituals all the time as I know others do too..

There are many people who still worship the ancient Gods and Goddesses of Egypt, Greece, Rome, the Celts, and the Norse.
For information on where to find a group, WitchVox is a good source, as well as doing internet searches for Khemetic worship (Khem was the name that the Egyptians had for Egypt in ancient times)

Yes they are. There are a number of groups both in Egypt and in the US where the gods are still worshipped in as traditional a manner as is possible in the modern world. To the best of my knowledge the groups in Egypt do not have any official recognition from the Egyptian government so there is no way of knowin how many there are, although according to my contact over there their numbers are growing.
There are also various followers of varisous pagan and neo-pagan eclectic religious groups (like wicca, chaoticist etc.) that include Egyptian deities in their practices.

Only by a couple people in Egypt... mainly because the majority of the world now respects monotheistic (single-god) religions.

I'm almost certain nobody believes in them anymore, and the only reason i think that is because everyone is so certain that there's only one "god" and there's no question about it...kinda retarded actually.
