RE: Male or female?
Female, assuming it is large enough to be sure!

RE: Male or female?
Looks to be female with the short wide tail and lack of concave plastron. Also doesn't have the hourglass waist like males. This all depends on the length of your tort. Smaller ones will not have these features so they are harder to sex until they get to about 7inches

Yep- at 6" it is usually at least starting to show male if it is going to, and I don't think she is.
