Since Judaism does not encourage its adherents to proselytize, people learned about it by seeing Jews in their places of exile, or picking up and reading Jewish books.
Judaism was spread worldwide by the repeated expulsion of Jewish people from places where they had lived. Wherever they went, they took their Judaism with them. The people who helped spread Judaism were comprised of those who ever said "We gotta get these $%@#& out of our nerighborhood". Also, to be precise and avoid a misconception that the question may imply . . . Judaism spread geographically, with Jews who migrated geographically. It was never spread by persuasion, because Judaism has never included a proselytizing ethic. That means that Jews do not try to convert people.

Every Jew is permitted to learn the teaching of Judaism. However, women are not allowed to learn the oral Tradition, namely Gemara.
Judaism did not spread through proselytization for the majority of its existence and therefore spread only within families and communities of Hebrews, Israelites, or Judeans (the same people at different times).
Judaism spread fast so equals yes
The way the question is written implies agency. Most of Judaism's spread was based on necessary migrations of Jews from other countries. Judaism spread by way of people moving, not populations converting. Jews spread throughout the Roman Empire, expanded out through much of Europe and also spread to the New World and Australia, before the mass return of Jews to Israel.
Judaism did not spread at all in Rome. The Ancient Romans were hostile to Jewish practice.
No.
