If we could somehow build a "space elevator" as depicted in sci-fi, would the piece at the top up in orbit have "Earth Gravity" or would it be similar to what one would experience on the ISS in terms of weightlessness?

Actually, the space elevators "top" part would have to be beyond the geosynchronous orbit, and being held down by the space elevators cable. If it was on or below said orbit, it would simply fall down. The weight of the cable is counterbalanced by the centrifugal force that the upper station "generates".

So anyone at the top station would feel a gravity-like centrifugal force pointing outwards, i.e. they would have the feet/floor spaceward and the head/ceiling earthward.

How big that force would be is another question. This largely depends on how far beyond the geosynchronous orbit the top station would be installed. Which would primarily depend on the weight, makeup, and other properties of the cable.
