Yes. It was where all the rich people sat, and the poor people had to stand at the bottom. Although I would have prefered to be at the bottom... a better view!
At the time, the Globe Theatre would have cost over 1000£ to build. However keeping in mind that 1000£ was worth much more at the time, than it is today.
Tickets in the Pit cost five pounds. In the galleries it's more like 32 pounds. If you want tickets or more info about the theatre, there's an attached link.
A globe is a sphere... unlike the Globe theatre which is circular, or more accurately a ring.
Yes, Its a lot more main-stream now, more tourist's and what not, mainly english philosiphers.
No it wasn't. The ancient Greeks and Romans built very effective outdoor theatres many of which are in use today, 1500 years and more before the Globe was built in 1599. But the Globe was not even the oldest theatre in Britain which was intended as a theatre not just an innyard. The Theatre in Shoreditch, built 1576, was the first. Newington Butts, The Curtain, The Rose, The Swan and the Blackfriars all were built before The Globe.

There were 3 levels of seating. the upper gallery, the middle gallery and the lower gallery. In each gallery there were different sections you could sit in. Depending where you sat, you might pay more or less. Before the stage at the bottom of the hoof shaped galleries, there was a section for people to stand in. This was considered the place were peasants and such went. Balconies were used for the musicians and sometimes scenes like the famous Romeo and Juliet balcony scene.
Groundlings paid a penny to stand around the stage. Seats went for three pence in the galleries. Lords Rooms cost more.

The globe theatre was circular shaped, and there was no real reason for it being the shape it was, just a design, I think.. :D It did have a cut out roof though, to let the actors have more of an 'open air' performance.
The Globe Theatre was the home of the Lord Chamberlain's Men (afterwards known as the King's Men) from 1599 to 1642. Shakespeare was associated with this group until his retirement in 1613, which means he played at the Globe more than any other theatre.
The theatre most often associated with Shakespeare is the first Globe, which was built in 1599 and burned down in 1613. It is well to remember that the Globe was not the only theatre in which Shakespeare and his company played. His career had started more than ten years before the Globe was built and in 1608 the King's Men started playing at the indoor Blackfriars theatre as well as the Globe.
