Is the Titanic Ever Going to be Raised?
Unlikely.
It will never be raised because it would fall apart. It will be left at the bottom of the Atlantic but it won't be there long because a bacteria that eats iron is now on it and it may be just a stain on the ocean floor by 2035.
Given the probable state of the ship, and the difficulties in working on that depth would make immensely expensive to raise the Titanic, and there'd be no realistic way of getting that money back.
What part of the Titanic ship was hit?
The starboard (right) side of the ship, just behind the bow, was gashed open when the iceberg smashed in the hull plates, which were held by steel rivets. The freezing temperature of the water may have contributed by making the rivets and plates more brittle and easily displaced. Once the water began to overtop the dividers between hull sections, the entire bow filled with water and caused the ship to go under. As the stern was lifted from the water, it split off from the bow, and the ship separated into two pieces as it sank to the bottom.
Are there any bodies still inside titanic wreckage?
It's not known exactly. Most of the corpses that sank with the vessel but remained outside the hull of the ship have by now completely rotted away, even their bones having dissolved, although there are occasional poignant traces of where they once lay- there is, for example, a famous photograph taken by Robert Ballard of a man's black shoes with the barest traces of ankle-bones left in them.
Some people argue that the bow section of the wreck may contain a number of bodies that may have been prevented from completely disintegrating by their limited exposure to the sea outside, although other marine archaeologists and explorers disagree and say that there are probably no corpses left at all. Much of the deep interior of the bow section is inaccessible due to vast amounts of wreckage and silt, so if there ARE any human remains left, we may never discover them. Perhaps it's best if we don't, and they are left to rest in peace.
How long did it take for the people who were in the water after the titanic sank to freeze?
According to some sites the water temperature the day The Titanic sank, was about -2°C (28°F). If the temperature in a body reaches below 35°C (95°F) one gets hypothermia. According to Wikipedia, that happens within 15-30 minutes in that cold water.

The bow and stern sections could have reached the bottom in as little as six minutes. The bow and stern sections landed about 1,970 feet apart (per Ballard) facing different directions. The extensive destruction of the stern is most likely due to implosion of the air-filled spaces by the pressure of the water as it sank.

Steamboats in the 1800s traveled 5 miles per hour. At a distance of 2900 miles from Ireland to Boston, at a nonstop pace would take 24 days and 6 hours.
The iconic British ship was built to transport significant number of passengers across the Atlantic, being the largest cruise liner in the world when it was launched. It also carried mail and some small cargo, but it was primarily designed to carry people in relative comfort across the ocean. In 1912, air travel was still in its infancy and not very comfortable, or even safe.

Her forward bulkheads filled with water, even though the watertight doors were closed. The ship sank deeper into the water, and lowered the lifeboats. By the time all the lifeboats were filled, the ship split in half between the 3rd and 4th smokestack. The bow dragged the stern into an upright position, where it pivoted and slowly sunk after the bow. The estimated loss was at more than 1100, with about 700-900 surviors. The remains of the passengers and crew were picked up by the Carpathia. The Titanic itself dissapeared at 2:31 AM.
