Sorry that the porcupines have fared so badly. There may be books about porcupines or you may be lucky to see them "doing their thing", which I am sure that they do.

Yes there are male and female porcupines, they are not
Hermaphrodites (both male and female). Females are slightly smaller than males, but about 2 pounds and she will have mammary organs. Alternatively, the male will be the one with the penis, but short of looking for that, you cant really tell by distance observation.

There is no difference between the male and female porcupine externally. You would have to look internally for something identifiable like...ovaries.
