falls church city has a free 3k on memorial day.
but i'd say a 5k is typically a really good starting point and with so many to choose from you can always find one to match up with your training program and sign up last minute.

This is the best website for races that I now of. You can review the approximately 80 gazillion 5ks in the DC/VA/MD area that will be occurring over the next few months.
You can find all kinds from close to your house and low key to huge and logistically complex.

is a great site to find races. I don't know exactly where you are, but I've had good experiences at the PR race series races https://potomac.enmotive.com/ in Northern VA.
Also, now that it's spring a lot of elementary schools hold 5ks that are open to the public. It's a good way to find a race that is VERY local (maybe even your neighborhood school that you can walk to!) and support your local school.

There's a 5k every Friday in April in Crystal City. Its Metro accessible, very mixed crowd/paces. If you register in March, it's $20/race or all four for $75. https://www.runpacers.com/race/crystal-city-5k-fridays/

There's a GW 1-miler that's part of a larger race in Old Town. That's where we started.

I don't follow your second question.
Just google 5k finder and pick one that appeals to you: course, location, price, charity, etc
