Almost every elevator I’ve been in has a mirror inside. Exceptions are paternoster or technical elevators.
Does it reduce claustrophobia? Does it make the space look bigger? Does it entertain passengers?

All your suggestions are right. It makes the space look bigger so people feel less claustrophobic and it gives them something to look at so they dont get bored and reduces stress levels
You also often find mirrors outside elevators. This is to avoid boredom while waiting. There is a famous story about a housing association in the UK that received floods of complaints about how long people had to wait for the lift to arrive in their apartment block. The cost of replacing the lift system with a faster one was excessive, so as an experiment they simply fitted full length mirrors to the side of each lift door. The complaints stopped.
