I believe the capacity was 1,000 groundlings. At least 1,500 people was the minimum capacity. 3,000 was the max.

What was Shakepeare's globe like in the 16th century?

It was quite similar to the Globe nowadays. The main difference would be the smell. People didn't bathe and there were no bathrooms in the theatre. When added to the smell of the open sewers, chemical smells from tanneries and the ungodly stink of the shambles, it must have been eye-watering.

What is the name of the theater in london which is an exact replica of a Theater that was around in shakespeare's time?

I believe you're thinking of The Globe Theatre, also known as 'Shakespeare's Globe' http://www.shakespeares-globe.org There were several theatres in London during Shakespeare's time. Although very few facts are actually known about Shakespeare, it was known that he was a shareholder in the original Globe Theatre at the end of the 16th Century. The reconstruction of The Globe is itself based on sketchy facts about the appearance and construction of the original, and is considered to be a 'best guess', built about 250 yards away from the original site. It is however, an excellent theatre, and well worth a visit.
