According to Merriam-Webster, 'in-between' is used as a noun or adjective whereas 'in between' is an adverb or preposition.

Hope this helps.

I think the correct form would be actually:

The man is sitting between the two women.

So, neither. You are using between as a preposition here, so if you refer to the questions you gave as examples in your question, you should use just between.

"Between the two women" denotes a space. If there is a space then you can be in that space; you can be in "between the two women". "In-between" also denotes that space whereas "between" doesn't.

In-between can work by implied reference but "between" cannot. Consider "Two women are sitting at either end of a bench for four". You wouldn't say "The man is sitting between" but you could say that he's "sitting between them" or you could say "The man is sitting in-between".
