Yes, and if anyone argues you're ending a sentence with a preposition, they're wrong. In this case, 'inside' functions as an adverb answering the question "where is the phone ringing?"
The possessive pronoun 'yours' is correctly taking the place of the noun briefcase as the subject of the sentence. The object of the linking verb 'is' is the complete noun clause 'the briefcase with the phone ringing inside'.

Is it correct grammar to say Yours is the briefcase with phone ringing inside?
It is almost correct: it simply needs an article before the word phone, to make the sentence "Yours is the briefcase with the phone ringing inside." This sentence could be the answer to the question, "Which briefcase is mine?""The briefcase with the phone ringing inside is yours" is a more common construction, however.

Which is the correct grammar you talk to whomever was inside or whoever was inside?
Whomever is correct. Would you say "You talk to she..." or "You talk to her". "Whoever" matches the subject of a sentence. Whomever matches the predicate (ending) of a sentence. Read it with the changes that were made. Which sounds better. - The answer above is above is not right. The question is a thorny one, because while "whomever" is correct as the object of the preposition "to," it CANNOT be be the subject of the finite verb "was." If we did not have the -ever part, we would say "Talk to him or her who is inside," with the object and subject pronouns properly sorted out. Since "whomever was inside " is utterly barbarous ( we don't say "him was inside" for example) I would say "Talk to whomever you like," but "Talk to whoever was inside."
