The eyes of the kitten must be open, and it must have fully developed legs and teeth. This usually happens between 3 to 4 weeks.
6-8 weeks
This is not a good thing, and you should take your kitten to the vet immediately.
Yes it is ok. Kittens can't get hurt or sick unless your hands are dirty or you drop the kitten. But it would be best not to take it away form its mom for long. The kitten needs to eat the milk the mom provides.
The mother cat will bite, chew, and eat the sac. If she takes too long, break the sac away from the kitten's face. But otherwise, let her finish doing it. Her licking stimulates the kitten to breathe. IF mother is in distress, grab a rag, hold the kitten inside the rag using both hands and vigorously rub to remove the sac and stimulate the kitten to breathe--then take mom and ALL kittens to the vet.

Its probably a newborn kitten. Have you seen a mama kitty hanging out around your property? I would say you should take it to the vet as soon as possible...
Of course! It really doesn't take long for the kitten to distinguish its owner from other humans.
