I just tried it and I cannot get it to work. All that happens is that
the text "[totalwidth=50mm]" shows up in the 1st column. Yes I entered
it in TeX mode, right after where it says "Columns (center aligned)" in red.

It does. You just have to enter it as raw TeX (Insert> TeX Code or Ctrl-L), in
square bracket, as in<ERT>[totalwidth=50mm]</ERT>.
Or for that matter the Column command requires you to give
an absolute width for the column and doesnt allow a relative spec like
0.5\textwidth.
Relative widths work. Again, enter them as raw TeX (but this time without the
square brackets).
