The link to "Question 2 dosen't work? but I think all your questions are covered in "Question 1"?

The answers given about the intake are correct, I've seen pics of all veriations I painted the inside of the intake on my Typhoon interior green.

I have also painted the inside of the rear of theradiator interior green, but you can bet it was sometimes painted the exterior colour/
We have debated the cockpit interior colour before, well I have had a discussion with another member. Post war british aircraft certainley had black cockpit interiors, but I have been unable to determin if this started to occur late in the war, but it might have done. If it were Hawkers might have been the first to do it. To be on the safe side I have painted the interior of my Tempest in Interior green (no pics yet). Hawker aircrfat usually had silver doped wheel well interiors, I believe, so the interior of the tail wheel well is silver, or possibly natural metal. It looks like natural metal (aluminium/duralamin) to me.
Hope this Helps (HTH)
