An infant who is born and dies one minute later, has this child committed an actual sin?

It is impossible to know. But it is also a moot point, as the sins of children are not held against them till the age of reckoning (14 years AFAIR).

Please explain Genesis 3:15. Who is “the woman” what is the enmities that protect her seen (Jesus Christ) from Satan (note: the enmities are the SAME) and why is the woman crushing Satan’s head?

Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
(e-Sword: KJV)

Gen 3:15 and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
(e-Sword: ASV)

Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring [a] and hers; he will crush [b] your head, and you will strike his heel."
(Bible Gateway: NIV)

Is it? Really? You can't tell if a one-day old infant has committed a sin? Maybe he got a little gluttonous with his Mama? Maybe he tried to annoy dad by pooping during the big game?

But it is also a moot point, as the sins of children are not held against them till the age of reckoning

It's not a moot point. If the text in question allows for exceptions, then it is not an absolute refutation of the idea of a person being free from sin.
