I don't think that Chewie went in with Lando at first because Jabba had put a
price on both Han Solo and Chewie. He would not have been able to get out 
again. Lando was an unknown and could secure employment as a guard with little
trouble. According to the book, Lando may also have destroyed the Bar-Droid on
the sail barge to ensure that when R2-D2 showed up that he would be assigned
there.

The size of the door was probably chosen merely to convince the viewer that
Jabbas Palace was as friendly as the wicked witch of the West's was. The 
sound of the door rumbling shut was very effective in giving the impression
that many who enter there never leave. Actually every visitor was scanned by
the "Eye Droid" and only those who could be handled by the interior guards
were admitted. I can't explain how it managed to let someone in who had a
Thermonuclear detonator on them.
