So I just figured out that the red things in the middle of olives are not there naturally. What are they exactly?

Pimentos, or fake pimento nowdays. They are a type of preserved sweet red pepper.

pimentos
pimiento; pimento A large, red, heart-shaped sweet pepper that measures 3 to 4 inches long and 2 to 3 inches wide. The flesh of the pimiento (the Spanish word for "pepper") is sweet, succulent and more aromatic than that of the red bell pepper... Pimientos are the familiar red stuffing found in green olives.

They are Pimento's, put there because they are pretty, also to fill the hole where the olive seed came out of.

Well it varies. Sometimes it's carrots and sometimes it red peppers.
