What is the neck width?

It is 52mm (2"). See full spec at the link below. https://www.washburn.com/product/c5ce/

Can you use steel strings?

I don't think so. This guitar was meant for nylon strings. Steel strings would exert greater stress on the neck than it was designed for. The tuners and bridge could also be damaged. Nice classical guitar, though. Hope this helps.
