What and when do people eat during Ramadan?
During the month of Ramadan, Muslims eat after dusk falls. Usually they eat anything ranging from cheese sandwich to Lasagna. They break their fast with dates and a drink like water, juice, or milk and then they eat dinner (usually the first day is a feast). But truthfully (from experience) you shouldn't eat a lot right away because then your stomach starts to ache. See the thing is your fasting usually more than 8-10 hours so after a full day of your stomach not having anything in it you don't just want to fill it up. You want to take your time. Make your stomach rest.
Can one touch his wife's breasts in Ramadan?
Praise be to Allaah. Yes, that is permissible. In fact it is permissible for a man to be intimate with his wife when he is fasting, so long as no intercourse or ejaculation takes place. Al-Bukhaari (1927) and Muslim (1106) narrated that 'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to kiss and be intimate when fasting, and he was the most able of you to control his desire." Al-Sindi said: The word yubaashir (translated here as "be intimate") means touching the wife's skin and her touching him, such as putting his cheek against hers and so on. What is meant here is touching the skin, not intercourse. Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: What is it permissible for a man who is fasting to do with his wife who is fasting? He replied: A man who is observing an obligatory fast is not permitted to do anything with his wife that will lead to ejaculation. People vary in how quickly they reach climax; some of them are slow and can control themselves completely, as 'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said concerning the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), "he was the most able of you to control his desire." Some of them cannot control themselves and ejaculate quickly. Such a person should not be intimate with his wife and touch her or kiss her etc when observing an obligatory fast. If a person knows that he can control himself, then he can kiss and hug his wife even when observing an obligatory fast, but he must beware of intercourse because having intercourse (during the day) in Ramadaan for one who is obliged to fast results in five things: 1- It is a sin 2- The fast is invalidated 3- He should refrain from eating etc for the rest of the day. Everyone who breaks his fast in Ramadaan with no legitimate shar'i excuse has to refrain from eating etc (for the rest of the day) and also has to make up that day. 4- He has to make up that day because he forfeited an obligatory act of worship, which he has to make up. 5- He has to offer an expiation which is one of the most burdensome of expiations: freeing a slave; if he cannot do that then he must fast for two consecutive months; if he cannot do that then he must feed sixty poor persons. If it is an obligatory fast that was being observed at a time other than Ramadaan - such as making up a day missed in Ramadaan, or observing an expiatory fast etc, then breaking the fast results in two things: sin and having to make it up. But if it was a voluntary fast and he has intercourse during it, then he does not have to do anything.

Do you have to pray tarawih on the last day of ramadhan?
It doesn't look like a specific prayer for the last day of Ramadan exists.
Id-ul-Fitr is celebrated on the begining 3 days of Shawwal (10th Month) and comes as a reward or celebration after a whole month of fasting in Ramadan (9th Month).
The Islamic calendar is based on Lunar system better known as the Hijrah Calendar and therefore the months on lunar calendar are not fixed and vary as with the general Gregorian Calendar being followed. Every Hijrah year has few less days than the previous Gregorian year and, therefore, cannot be pre-determined as opposed to the Gregorian Calendar. The main reason being that the months in lunar calendar can vary from 28 - 30 days depending on the lunar cycle.
For Example, in 2005 Id-ul-Fitr came on 3rd of November, in 2006 it was nearly on 26th of October and in 2007 it was celebrated on 12rh of October.

YES, We can eat and drink inside the mosque, in the same time we have to respect the holiness of any mosque by taking care its cleanliness.
The reason :
Muhammad, the Messenger of God in many occasion invited his guests to have meal & drinks inside the mosque for lunch, and dinners , etc.
Currently,
in the holy mosque of MAKKAH & MADINAH are served meal for dinner in the Ramadan days.
Let's together spread the good and avoid evil.
