Until a couple is granted a divorce by a court, they are considered married. So your stepmother was still your father's wife at the time of his death. Many states allow a surviving spouse some part of the estate (what used to be called the widow's portion) but it's certainly not 50%. If the will is valid, it's unlikely that your stepmother can claim anything beyond what state statute allows.

Can they harass me for not going to probate court if property left is less than $5,000?

Yes, your sibling can make trouble for you over this. If you did not go to probate court you have essentially stolen money from the estate. For an estate of this size you could most likely file a small estate affidavit with the court. You would account for expenses for cleaning and settling the estate, pay your father's bills and split the remainder with your sibling.
