Is it ok for a young cat with no kittens to produce milk and to start feeding 12 week old kittens?

Mom cats often adopt another cat's litter, especially if the mom recently gave birth. For young kittens, that's okay BUT mom will need more food with protein (e.g. a good dry and wet food). However, 12-week old kittens should NOT be nursing. Separate the older kittens from their "adopted" mom and get them onto dry food.

How much wet food for a kitten?
Kittens need a lot of Protein and Fat in order to grow and develop in a healthy manner. Generally speaking, kittens need twice as much Protein as an adult cat does, so don't be surprised if you are feeding your kitten much more than you would an adult cat. It is very difficult to overfeed a kitten. Feed it as much as it needs. Kittens have small stomachs, so the best method of feeding is "little and often", as often as four to six times a day for very young kittens.
When you have two cats and one gave birth to baby then is other cat dangerous?
It depends on the individual cat. Some species of cat's are more likely to actually help raise young kittens and some are more notable for their likelihood of killing kittens. If you don't know how your individual is going to react, it's best to keep momma with her babies separated from the other cats till the kittens are at least 9 weeks. Also, be wary of the mother, especially if this is her first litter! Mother cats seem to be more likely to kill their own kittens then other cats. If you believe the mother is stressed out too much and/or is threatening the kittens, you should seperate the mother and start bottle feeding if they are still too young.
Your kittens are 27days old cat you feed them kitten food?
27 days is a little young to start feeding them solid food. Your kitten starts eating kitten food whenever it feels that it is ready. You could keep a bowl of food out, and water out if you like. At this stage, kittens may begin to explore regular cat food and might want to try it, but many start around five or six weeks. I would stick with soft kitten food at first.

Absolutely not. No cat at any stage in their life is vegetarian. In fact, feeding your cat or dog a vegetarian diet is extremely harmful to the animal and will result in malnutrition and death.
