I created two user accounts on her iMac, one for her and one for myself. If we use our own accounts to sync iTunes and backup photos and whatnot, will OS X split her 500GB HDD evenly so that we each get 250GB of space? I'm just not sure how this works when we use multiple accounts since it is the first time we are sharing a computer with another in terms of multiple users.

No, the space will be allocated as needed, regardless of user.
