All the way down to one's toes

Hi,
1."Kelly said she had never understood the Smith girls and Laura asked that Kelly please not make this about her family."

What does 'make' mean in the above?

2."Kelly loved her husband all the way down to her toes."

What does 'all the way down to one's toes' mean? Is it a fixed idiom?

3."She went into his room and he looked happy to see her, but also held up his arm to keep her at a distance.

What does 'hold up one's arm' mean?

Thanks in advance.
