For as long as they could, yes - many survivors remarked on the brave men playing to keep the passengers calm. Stories of their last song being "Nearer My God To Thee" or any other song are regarded by most researchers as being "embellishments". It is not known what the last song they played was. They all went down with the ship.

The song name is "Hymn to the Sea" by James Horner. It is a fabulous, beautiful song. You can listen to it free at the following link: http://www.jango.com/music/James+Horner?c=1&l=0
yes
Titanic's Oldest survivor, Mary Wilburn (nee Davis) who lived to be 104, was 28 at the time of the sinking of Titanic.
the song the orchestra played when the ship went down was "Nearer my God to thee" in the films, however nobody will ever know what the very last song played was as nobody onboard survived during the final stage or, sadly, if it was even finished. god bless
They both have fictional aspects but the actual sinking of the ship was more accurate in "Titanic". When "A Night to Remember" was made in 1958, it was not known that the ship had broken in half while sinking.

If anybody were inside the wreck while sinking, they would have died in the first minute from extreme pressure.

The White Star Line songbook is available today, including it's table of contents. Several pieces, like "Song d'Autumne" and "Nearer My God to Thee" are conjectured to be the final song played during the sinking of Titanic but there are conflicting accounts.

It's not entirely clear what the final song actually was. Most of the survivors reported hearing the band play "Nearer my God to Thee," a hymn which would have certainly been appropriate for the final moments of a sinking ship. Yet, at the time, the hymn was played to several different melodies. The British would have recognized the "Horbury" melody as "Nearer my God to Thee," while the Americans would have recognized the "Bethany" melody, and yet both British and American survivors reported hearing "Nearer My God to Thee" as the final song. Titanic's junior wireless operateor Harold Bride told the New York Times, while aboard the rescue ship Carpathia soon after the catastrophe, that the final song was "Autumn," likely referencing the popular waltz at the time "Songe d'Automne."
