What's the distance between the two carry arms (the ends of the arms)?

On the current version (2016 and newer) hitch racks, the carry arms are 11.5" apart on center. This translates to an outside dimension of approximately 13"

What's the best way to lock bikes to this rack? I've never used a hitch rack before.

Get a long cable lock, and run it through the safety chain anchor points on your hitch, and through the frames and any quick release wheels. Alternatively, a reasonably thick (read:hard to cut) coated chain padlocked to the hitch and bikes in the same fashion.

how do you put a womens bike on this rack?

The brackets that the straps are attached to rotate around the rack arms, making it fairly easy once you figure out the best position. I actually had 3 women's bikes on the rack with no problems. The straps were on the diagonal bar and the vertical bar below the seat and it was very tight, no movement at all. No issues with women's bikes at all here.

This rack has a 1/2" hole for the pin. Lots of hitches have 5/8" holes/pins. You can use the "no-wobble" pin that they include (which is partly 1/2" and partly 5/8"), but then you need tools to put on/take off which is annoying. If you want to use an after-market key-locking trailer pin, you will likely have to drill out this bike rack's pin hole to 5/8" first. Not a great design choice in my opinion.
