The Eiffel tower does not sway in the wind at all. It is very big, very tall, and very,very, strong.
The observatory at the top of the Eiffel tower noted a record movement of 13 cm during the tempest of December 1999 (under winds of 240 km/h).
The Eiffel does not, or practically not, move in the wind. Its lattice structure allows for minimal wind pressure, which Eiffel engineers had to kept under a 70 centimetres total amplitude at the summit. That never was the case, and according to the tower's observatory, the greatest amplitude ever recorded at the top was 13 centimetres (5.11 inches) in the strongest winds recorded (240 km/h - 149.12 miles/hour) in the December 1999 tempest.

To the best of my knowledge it is a self-supporting tower ( of Iron, not modern Steel) and the only cables would be those for radio and TV transmission ( from the top) and of course the elevators, which are open-frame commoner in Europe than in the US. Not for the Acrophobe- you see the ascent in full view- unlike opaque elevators in most office buildings in US.

Does the Eiffel Tower have any rooms?
There is a restaurant on the 1st level called 58 Tour Eiffel. I would imagine there would be a bathroom on that level. Whether or not it's open to the public in the viewing section is another matter. (I bet if you really had to go, and asked very nice; they might let you go. Most French people are very kind). On the top level when I was there in May 2009, I couldn't find a bathroom. I didn't need to go. I was simply curious. They did serve champagne though, for a heart stopping 10 Euros a glass...
