I ordered this and the Matthews 6" pin with collar. How can I mount both an Aputure 60X light AND umbrella light modifier to this at the same time?
The Matthews pin would insert into the grip head on the end of the arm first. If using an umbrella adapter, that would fit over the pin. The top of the umbrella adapter should also have a 5/8" pin to accept the stand adapter of the Aputure LS60X.

The correct diameter of a Baby Pin is 5/8" and yes it will fit. There are two standard pin sizes, Junior and Baby. Junior is 1 1/8", Baby is 5/8"

what weight are these rated for while boomed?
what weight are these rated for while boomed?
Matthews does not list a specific support weight for the Matthews Hollywood Head and Arm - 40" - Black. In general, arms like this are made for flags and small lights. Also, it is best to not go over 5 lb. In addition, depending on the weight of the item, you will need to use a counterweight.

2 Questions: 1. Does this include 2 grip heads, as the pictures seem to indicate? 2. Is this designed for a baby mount (5/8 )?
Yes and yes.

question
What pin or stud could screw into a light stand so that the whole base of the Matthews arm fits down on the pin? The light stands I have fit only partway up the Matthews arm hole, leaving the arm a bit unstable. I've tried a couple of pins that don't work because they have a part of the pin that is too wide to allow the arm to go all the way down.
If your stand ends in a 1/4-20 I would suggest a 7000 baby pin that would screw on top.

question
What is the maximum load rating of this arm?
It's suppose to handle up to 22lbs. when attached to a Matthews C Stand. I've never put that much weight on the arm. Most I've put is an Arri 1000 watt fresnel with scim and flag that were around 13 lbs. total. Held it great for a long evening shoot.

question
Could one of these Matthews heads be mounted on steel or iron pipe and what thickness would the pipe need to be (e.g. what is the diameter of the threads?)
Any 5/8 OD pipe.
