Eye contact vs. staring.

Usually holding for more then 3 seconds comes off as creepy....even though they initiate it. If you're interested open....otherwise smile and go back to what you were doing.

Eye contact takes 2 people. You make eye contact until she breaks away. If she doesn't break away go introduce yourself.

In your situation, just smile. If she smiles back, start a conversation. No need to overthink it.

Relatively new to this, but I'm going to take a shot and tell you what I would do in the same situation.

I'm walking over to a squat rack or just setting up for a specific exercise and I see a girl looking at me.

Maintain body position/ shoulder orientation. If you're not already looking at her, don't square your shoulders up with her face just keep doing what you're doing.
Turn your head just enough to make her know you're looking at her. Somewhere between looking at her head on and looking at her out of the corner of your eye. If your shoulders are already squared up to her, you can look at her head on.
Smirk with both your mouth and eyes (not full fledged smile). I like to save a toothy smile for when I'm taking to a girl face to face. Try practicing this in a mirror to see how to do it in a way that's most attractive.
Nod head, do a half wave, do something. You can do it in a way that says "Hey I caught you checking me out."
Read response: Not interested=> She breaks eye contact, doesn't smile back, maintains head elevation... Interested=> smiles back, breaks eye contact, but looks down and smiles, waves back.
If she's interested I sometimes like to keep looking in her direction a little after she breaks eye contact. This way if she looks up again at you, you can catch her on it and give her a "Caught you looking again" gesture.

I would use agree with u/hamakki123. Break eye contact after 3 seconds regardless, but you shouldn't have to worry about this too often. Honestly, this is a bit of a polarizing technique (Models by Mark Manson). Some women will think you're creepy, some will think you're cute. Just the way it goes.

whether your smiling or not, whether she smiles back/looks away, or just stares at you like wtf.

Staring is when you're looking at someone and not communicating anything.

You can say a lot with your eyes and face.

No difference. I advocate continuous eye contact (except blinking). You're making a sexual advance, she should know that subconsciously.
