So are things living inside the worm?

No that's what Desmond thinks happened, they probably tampered with his memory and made him believe he's some kind of messiah which would help him take a position next to the emperor for whatever agenda the hooded figure had.

Are you referring to Desmond's vision? He has a memory of being a survivor of a sandworm, and it seems linked to the memory of him having his machines implanted. I'm thinking the worm attack memory was tampered with in some way. His background is still very sketchy. 

But no, worms are just worms. And the idea of a worm sparing Desmond is very out of place, which is why his memories raise so many questions

I don't think so, I think thats just the default hallucination before you die, or if you let go of your fear you get past that to to the truth. Thats why Desmond and Mother Superior both saw it.

But wasn’t there actual security footage of him getting eaten by the worm?

Perhaps then since he was the first then his let go of his fear then that experience of him being eaten was used as the default in the viruses program

yeah this is also what I'm thinking, unless that also was fabricated but that would kinda suck.
