They claim to, though only one person is ever allowed to view it.

Color me skeptical.

No. If the Ark ever existed, it was destroyed long ago.

Very probably not.

But pretty much every religion makes much more fantastical claims than this, with about the same level of evidence.

Doesn't every third Catholic Church in Europe have a piece of the "True Cross" or Paul's penis or something along those lines?  I hear one even thinks they have His shroud.

How is this belief any more laughable than the various central articles of your Christian faith, given the available evidence supporting both?

I vote yes, but it might be a copy.  There is a genetic link between the Jewish community and East Africa.

It's about as likely as God impregnating a virgin and then the son of that union being executed but coming back from the dead and also turning water into wine and healing the blind.
