Max gap between spindles is 100 mm square:)
it can be any height from 3 foot 6 up over and 4 inches for spindles.
Height of handrail at stairs is 2'-6" to 2'-8" and at landings 2'-10" to 3'-0". Not sure what you mean by spindles, typically two per stair, spaced evenly will work. but the spindles must be at least 2" back from the edge of stair tread, according to Architectural Graphic Standards book.

Height of handrail from the nose of the step should be 2'-10" to 3'-2" (I just use 3') and the spacing of the spindles should not allow a 4" ball to pass between them. This means if you use square 2x2's they would be 5.5" on center. If they are shaped then it would be a bit closer together.
If you have any open landings then the handrail becomes a guard rail and the height would be 42".
