Not usually, as they are vegetarians. HOWEVER - a mother rabbit will eat the babies if she is disturbed too much after giving birth. It's natures way of telling her the place she gave birth wasn't as safe as she thought it was !

Yes, it is normal. Especially if the rabbit is male and not neutered, it chase each other for the female rabbit.

When two or more rabbits are going to live together, it's best that they're all neutered/spayed. That way, they have a higher chance of getting along (and not fighting and/or mating).

When rabbits are put together, one of them has to establish dominance. Some chasing and humping is normal. Sometimes rabbits can take it too far, though, so you should step in to prevent the other rabbit from being harassed or attacked.

It's usually a good idea to introduce new rabbits gradually, over a couple of weeks (if it goes well) -- at first, keep them separate, then allow them to spend more and more time together if they're getting along, until eventually you can trust them enough to move the new one in. This process is called "bonding."
