How old/ big must pacman frogs be in order to mate? Is it fairly easy to get them to mate? Is there anyway to sex them when they are young in order to get a male and female?

They need to be full grown, depends on frogs, I've seen 3 inch to 7 inch full grown cranwells. I'd say at least 2 years old to mate
Is it fairly easy to get them to mate?
No i wouldn't risk it. Frogs can and will try to eat each other and chances are of them mating is pretty rare. Setting up conditons and getting them in the mood is tough; usually requires hibernation. And besides, if they do mate ,and if you do raise the tadpoles (seperately) succesfully, what would you do with all those frogs?
Is there anyway to sex them when they are young in order to get a male and female?
Not really, dark throat theory sometimes work, but not with albinos and surely not reliable. Usually in full grown animals its easier to tell based on size, but some females are small while some males are large...
I found that the key thing is to hear the call of the male.
