Not precisely. The umbra is the TOTAL part of the shadow. In a total eclipse, where the eclipsing object is spherical, then the "inner" part of the shadow is the umbra, but in a partial eclipse, there IS NO umbra; just the "penumbra", the partial shadow.

True or false the umbra is the inner part of the shadow?
The umbra in a shadow is the portion where light from a source is completely blocked. This is in the middle of the shadow. The area around this, where light from part, but not all of the source shines is called the penumbra. In the shadow cast by the moon in an eclipse, the penumbra is the partial shadow that occurs before the total eclipse, and the umbra is the 'total eclipse' portion

A total shadow is called an umbra True Or False?
True.
Is this true or false total solar eclipse can be seen only by people in the area of Earth within the Moons umbra?
True. The umbra is the central darker total shadow of the Moon. Outside of this area, called the penumbra, is the lighter partial shadow. In this area, you would see a partial or annular eclipse. The umbra and penumbra are cone-shaped areas of full and partial shadow. The solar eclipse of January 14, 2010 (last week, as I write this) the Moon was so far away from the Earth that the umbra didn't reach all the way to the Earth. So the Sun was visible all the way around the Sun; and "annular", or ring-shaped eclipse.
A total solar eclipse can only be seen by people in the area of Earth within the Moon's umbra?
Short answer: True. Long answer: not entirely true as follows: The eclipse event as a whole is visible to anyone within either the umbra or the penumbra, however it appears as truly total only to those within the umbra. That is, those who are not in the umbra are seeing an event that will be called a "total eclipse", just not optimally, as it will appear only partial to them.
