I am finalizing my form and after reading this topic I am still not 100% sure. My spouse has never been to USA but does have a passport. This section seems to be asking for the passport information IF the person has entered the USA. So since she has not, should I enter her passport info? Or not enter it?

Simple.. if she now has a passport,enter the passport number where it is required.

I entered the passport number on my old passport but later changed it due to change of name by marriage and I'm going to be using the new one for my NVC and embassy stages.

A careful read of the question will indicate that, yes, you enter the passport number there is the beneficiary has one. Counterintuitive, to be sure.

The header of that section says exactly "Beneficiary's Entry Information".  I guess my careful read is maybe too careful. I had it in there originally but was going to remove it. I will follow the advice and just put it. I guess it can't hurt anyways. Government forms are just a pain.

No, that's not careful enough.  Note that if you answer yes to being in the US, you are directed to complete 46a - 46d.  The passport question is 47, a separate question.  Frankly, if you leave it out, there is not going to be a problem.  The forms are both flawed AND counterintuitive.
