Are craters caused by meteorites?
Some craters are caused by meteorites; for example, the Barringer Meteor Crater near Winslow, AZ, USA is probably the best known big crater. But craters can be caused by volcanoes or by explosions as well. Although, to be honest, a meteor crater is caused by an explosion, too, when kinetic energy is converted abruptly into heat.
What fills up craters?
That depends on where the crater is, and how it formed. Meteor craters on the Moon or Mars? Nothing generally fills them up, and lunar craters are still visible after many hundreds of thousands of years. On Earth? A meteor crater will, eventually, fill with dust or dirt and water. A good number of meteor craters are visible as circular lakes. The Meteor Crater in Barringer, AZ is still empty after 50,000 years. Volcanic craters sometimes fill with lava, or with dirt and water. Crater Lake in Nevada is a .... lake, filled with .... water.

How would the impact of the meteor have affected the biosphere near the crater?
A meteor impact that's big enough to create a crater is likely to extinguish much or most of the biosphere at the impact site. In the 1908 Tunguska event, the impact didn't leave a crater, but the air burst did generate an explosion of "nuclear bomb" proportions, incinerating the landscape below and flattening trees for miles around. An impactor similar to the one that gouged out "Meteor Crater" near Winslow, AZ would likely have sterilized everything within a couple of miles, killed most animals within 5 miles, and devastated the area within 10 miles. Some plants and small animals might survive, but large animals would likely perish due to the utter disruption of the food chain. A really big impact would likely cause climatic changes, cooling the Earth by several degrees, because the dust and debris blasted into the stratosphere would have caused a significant fraction of the energy the Earth normally receives from the Sun to be reflected back into space. This, we believe, is what actually killed off the dinosaurs (and about 2/3 of all life on Earth) 65 million years ago.
