Answer 1

10 is a little low, but not too bad.

If the other female looks just the same as the first one did, she could give birth anytime now.

Keep them in the breeder net until they are so big that the other fish can't eat them. Or better yet get a new tank for them.

Feed them crushed up flake food.

Keep the water very clean, do water changes often!

Answer 2

The babies eat tiny pieces of flake food. Definitely seperate them from the adults- the adults will eat them. It takes a couple months for them to grow to a size where they will not get eaten. (They have to be big enough to not fit in the adults' mouths.) If you don't want that many guppies, take them to a pet store that will accept them. You can "donate" them (even though they probably will just use them as food for bigger fishes.) Some pet store will pay you a little money if they are fancy guppies.

Answer 3

if you want to play it safe and keep all the babies, keep them in the net till they get about half an inch long. Feed them little flakes. I left all my babies in the open with the other guppies. Some were eaten, but if you have plants, the babies will hide and their chances of living will be better. If you just dont have anything for them to hide in, I would definitely keep them in the net.
