[I used to work in an elevator company] We usually referred to these as "panoramic elevators". (Google returns a few hundred thousand hits on this). |

Observation elevator or sightseeing elevator. I think observation elevator is more commonly used, as Google returns pictures and more results (76 thousand vs. 44 thousand, with quotes). |

It depends on whether you are referring to the glass-ness of them, or the 'inside-out-ness', in which case you could say 'external elevator', though I've no idea if that's the 'official' term. |

Yes, in some parts of the anglosphere, "glass lift" (or indeed panoramic lift) is a better term :-) |
