So, there was literally no border control on the West Berlin side when
crossing from East Berlin? Nobody even checking passports?


No

What about at the Inner German Border?


There were regular passport controls there. There were also passport
controls on border crossings between West Berlin and surrounding GDR.


Yes, I remember that. I remember having to go through border control
when I entered East Berlin in the late '80s.
