Are those doorways or just, like, closet-type storage areas around the bottom wall there?

Doorways for the actors and chorus and such, I believe.

Do they go to an underground room, or is it like they stay there until they go on kind of thing?

I would guess an underground room, but I'm not sure, to be honest. I only know a little bit about Classical theatres.
