からず modifies 少ない, reversing it's meaning.
Originally, it means "a little, few" but when you add the modifier, it turns into "not a little, considerably" (少なからず).
私も世の中に、理解し難い女の人は少なからずいますけど is giving me a bit of trouble. I'm not exactly sure what is going on with the からず
ず is a (classical) negative auxiliary verb, and 少なから is a conjugation of a classical adjective 少なし. You can think 少なからず is equivalent to 少なくなく in modern Japanese, as Brunom1-san translated it as "not a little".私も世の中に、理解し難い女の人は少なからずいますけど is giving me a bit of trouble. I'm not exactly sure what is going on with the からず
そう / な(the attributive form of the copula だ) / ん(the explanatory の/ん) / だ(copula) / もの(a sentence final particle)
Japanese is a context-driven language. Your translation can be correct, but there might exist something more appropriate.
あれ refers to the previous speakers talk about his batting. So he says something about how good that one hit was, and his friend's response is "the thing I can't believe is how you didn't make more than a single off it"
Sorry, but that's really so (= you're really 女の子臭い).Ok.
here's the context:
A-酷い, それはないんじゃないの
B-泣かないでよ
A-女の子臭いだなんてよくも平気で言えるわね
B-ごめん, でも本当にそうなんだもの
now can it mean any other thing.
The meaning is basically the same as large but, as you imply, I think 少なからずcan also take on the added nuance of "larger than expected"/perhaps not huge but certainly not insignificant/considerable or in no small measure (少なくはない) etcからず modifies 少ない, reversing it's meaning.
Originally, it means "a little, few" but when you add the modifier, it turns into "not a little, considerably" (少なからず).

夢みたいな事 means something like "what can't happen", thus, it roughly says "You're saying what can't happen. / Don't say what can't happen."何を夢みたいな事言ってるの！？
The context is pretty typical: the main character has dropped his recommendation in order to chase his dream, and his mother is scolding him for it. I understand the meaning of this sentence, but I'm just stuck trying to find a proper translation. I'm thinking of "What are you dreaming about", or something like that, but I'd like to find something closer to the original meaning.
What is the speaker's response ? This の I believe would be with a falling tone to denote a strong assertion, similar to English a rising tone is used to indicate a question.何を夢みたいな事言ってるの！？

It doens't matter whether it's a falling or rising intonation. The sentence means "Don't say such a thing!" with scolding tone anyway. The rising intonation also connotes "being amazed", though.
