Yes, it often is, describing a noun associated with mothers or mothering. It can also be an adverb, meaning done in the manner of a mother.

What does it mean if a girl kinda acts motherly?

Well, it depends on what you mean by motherly. Do you mean you are dating her and she acts motherly toward you, or do you mean just acting motherly, to everyone? If you meant the first one, that wouldn't be good, and if you meant the second one, that could just mean she's very mature, or she's family oriented and wants kids of her own someday.
