Yes, the Flavian Amphitheatre, for one. There's also the Pantheon and numerous churches that were once temples. Then here's the remains of the Forum Romanum with its columns of ancient temples and paved ancient streets.
Yes, absolutley. You can stil walk into and through a lot of them. The pantheon, the colossieum, the forum. Some of the buildings in rome still use the roman wals from 2000 years ago!

no. The prime reason for any civilization to build was for housing. However many of the remains of the ancient buildings that we see today were for religious and in some way a political purpose.

The theater of Pompey was/is a vast structure built by Pompey as a means of self-glorification. In addition to having living quarters, it was a temple and a theater. It had a huge assembly hall where political meetings could be held. ( The senate was meeting there when Caesar was murdered). Even today the remains of the walls can be traced as some of them are incorporated into modern buildings.
We know that the roman sewers were very large just by looking at them. Many of the Roman sewers or parts of them are still evident today. The main sewer for the city of Rome was the Cloaca Maxima and parts of it can still be seen. Some of the ancient sewers are still usable. We also have the literature left by some ancient writers on the makeup of the sewers and their dimensions.
It varied greatly. Some writings glorified the virtues of the Romans, the splendour of its buildings and the Roman conquests. Some were nostalgic of the good old days. Some were moralistic. Some were critical of Roman society (particularly the satires) or of some of the ruler.
