Yes, Exodus 2:5-10 tells us of Pharaoh's daughter discovering Moses floating in the Nile river. Moses' sister, Miriam, suggested the idea of finding a Hebrew nurse to care for the child, Pharaoh's daughter agreed, and Miriam got her mother (Moses' mother) to do the job until Moses had grown. So Moses had regular contact with his mother growing up.

Moses' mother, Jochebed(Numbers 26:59), placed Moses in a basket in the Nile River to hide him from Pharaoh and save his life(Exodus 1:8-22). Later, the daughter of Pharaoh found him floating there and took him for her own. However, she needed a nurse for the baby, so Miriam, Moses' sister, suggested that she find 'one of the Hebrew women' to serve as the nurse. Pharaoh's daughter agreed, and Miriam got her mother, so Jochebed got to be with Moses (Exodus 2:1-10). It's doubtful that she'd 'claim' Moses publicly, but she cared for him most of his young life in her capacity as a paid 'nurse'.

Yes. She saw that the infant Moses looked good (Exodus 2:2) and cared for him (ibid. 2:9). If she hadn't believed that God would somehow protect the infant, she would have attempted other means to avoid his death.
