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.
The seating was the same as in the modern Globe: in three roofed galleries, one on top of the other, circling the stage.
Yes, the new Globe Theatre, like its Elizabethan counterpart, is open to the weather and is lit by natural light. As with the original theatre, there is a roof over the stage and over the seating areas, but not over the "pit" where you can get standing room tickets.
The Modern Globe theatre is based on the original design from Shakespears' time - so forget the heating. The audience is mainly standing, but there is some seating in the galleries.
The new Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London, which is about twenty years old, was designed to look as much as possible like the Globe Theatre built in 1599. If you look for images of that theatre you will see what it looked like.
There were the groundlings (people who stood on the floor I front of the stage) and the higher class who sat on wooden benches on the three tiers of the theatre

The outside of the original Globe Theatre looked very much like Sam Wanamaker's modern Globe theatre in Southwark. We don't know what the original Globe looked like inside. (The inside of the modern Globe is copied from some drawings we have of the inside of the Star - a slightly less famous Jacobean theatre).
Shakespeare was part owner of two theatres, The Globe Theatre and The Blackfriars. He called the Globe Theatre the Wooden "O" in his play Henry V because it was built almost circular with an open courtyard in the middle. The Blackfriars was an indoor theatre, designed very much like theatres today with a thrust stage and seating both on the floor and in galleries.The Globe Theater.
