No. Not usually anyway. Kittens are unable to walk until they're at least 3 weeks old, however most kittens are only able to run at 5 weeks, and leap and jump in a coordinated manner at 5-6 weeks. By 6 weeks, kittens have the ability to turn in mid-air and usually land on their feet when falling. So if your kittens aren't running around and playing yet at 3 weeks, don't freak out, they aren't old enough to be doing that yet. If they were, I'd be freaking out in a good way, because they're like super kittens. But don't force them or anything, obviously.

Should a really thin cat be taken from her nursing kittens?

No, the kittens need all the milk they can get. Just feed her better food and help her not be so thin. You can help by nursing the kittens yourself as well at intervals if they are still hungry, but the kittens should NOT be separated from their mother, especially when you can help them.

How pet cats raise their babies?

Kittens are born deaf, blind, toothless and completely dependant on the mother. The mother cat will feed them, clean them and lick under their tails to encourage them to toilet for the first four weeks of their lives. When the kittens are around three weeks old, kittens will begin to open their eyes, their hearing will develop and their milk teeth will start to come through. By four weeks, kittens are finding their feet. By six to eight weeks, kittens will start taking an interest their mother's food and should already be exploring the litter box. Kittens at this age learn what to do from their mother. Even during and after weaning, some kittens will still suckle from the mother. This is completely normal. Socialisation also starts around this time, and the kittens will continue to learn as late as twelve weeks old - which is one of the reasons kittens should stay with their mother and siblings until this time. These skills teach the kittens manners, not to be too rough in play (biting and scratching hurts!) and generally how to behave around other cats and people.
