Questions About Grappling

"If you have an empty hand, you can grab foes or their equipment. You must be in your opponent’s hex to try this." DFE 40.

What if a character or monster has reach 1 or more with his arms? Does it still need to be in it's opponents hex to initiate a grapple?

"Pin: ... The fighter with the most free hands has +3." DFE 41.

What constitutes a "free" hand for this? A hand not holding anything, including the foe?

"Break Free: ... Your opponent gets +5 if grappling you with two hands or pinning you with one, +10 if pinning you with two." DFE 41.

What does "grappling you with two hands" mean? Does it just mean both hands are not holding on to anything else (like a weapon) or do you have to make an attack and hit with both hands?

Depending upon the answers, I may have some follow up questions. Many thanks in advance for assistance.
