A broody hen is easy to spot. The hen will remain on the nest when the other hens are going about their daily routine. The hen will often be aggressive when you reach in to remove her eggs. If you remove the hen from her clutch of eggs she will often run right back to the nest, protesting loudly. The broody hen will not roost with the other birds but remain on the nest over night.
You will hear her. Hens cluck for various reasons.

You can't force a hen to set eggs. Certain breeds take to becoming broody more readily than others. Cochin and Silkie hens will brood well, but at their own pace. You can add eggs from other hens if you find a brood hen has started a small clutch.
Yes. The hens will make a fast chattering sound when upset, bothered. Sounds like a quickly repeated "tuck tuck tuck tuck tuck". I find this happens most when there is a small rodent like a mouse in the coop, it is different from the sound they make when threatened by something.

No. The hen is not trying to hurt the chick. The hen is teaching the chick to come back to her. When she does this you will notice her making a soft clucking sound. She will softly cluck and tug at the chicks wing to re-enforce the idea that the sound means "come to me".
