Yes, 12 pixels according to the HIG (although I think some apps probably do less than this). > 2. What's the best way to get the proper spacing between the sections > (i.e. Identification and Billing Address) There are as many ways of doing these things as there are people who create .glade files, and the best way to learn is just to dig some out of svn and see how they've done it. Personally I'd probably use a 3-row vbox with the spacing set to 12 (the correct inter-section spacing, IIRC), then just put a frame for each of your sections in each row (Identification, Billing Address, Notes).
