why are the spaces on the left and right sides of the image columns greater than the space between the columns?

If there is a 2.5% margin for each list item, shouldn't the space on the left and right side of the image (next to the images) be smaller than the space between the two columns (which would be 2.5% plus 2.5%). is there an extra margin on the sides?

This is a little difficult to answer without seeing the source code but to answer your question, yes. In theory, the center margins should be greater than the outside margins. The outside margins could be larger because of parent element padding (especially if you haven't used normalize.css which strips the basic padding away from each browser default). I would start by looking through the parent elements styles and from there, look through your inspect tools within your browser to see what styles are being applied to your elements in question. I hope this helps!
