You will need to observe the rooster to know if he is doing his job. There is no way to know if the eggs the hens are laying are fertile just by observing the egg. You could break one open and check for a germinal disc in the yolk but that does not mean eggs from other hens are fertile. Best way to check is start a clutch and check in 48 hours by candling.No, the hen will not set on a clutch unless she is broody. She will walk away from the eggs, fertile or not until she decides it is time to brood. Not all chickens will brood a clutch of eggs.

Hens can go broody whether there is a rooster in the flock or not, so no, not just fertile eggs trigger the brooding instinct.
