Yes female is larger longer spider. Long Jawed spider females may mate with multiple males but the last male to mate is most likely to be successful - so there is an advantage in hanging around in the near vicinity

It might be predating on something inside the leaf, this looks like a Badumna sp. to me.

A male, they can be recognised by their long legs (in addition to their pedipalps!)

Thanks Nate - today I noticed a rather large one under the eaves not far from where this one must have entered via the window.
