Is mom feeding kittens enough?
Mom cats will nurse every 2 hours or when babies cry. If babies don't cry after nursing, they are getting enough. If they cry after nursing, mom may not have enough milk for all kittens. Take mom and kittens to the vet.

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.
What to do before a cat has kittens?
First of all, keep the mom cat comfortable, fed well, and clean. The same goes for after the kittens come. Second, you'll need to prepare for the kittens. Make sure the bed/box or wherever the mom cat is staying is big enough for herself and for her kittens. Keep the bedding clean as well.
How do kittens hunt?
Kittens do not hunt. By around 8-12 weeks if they are still with their mom, the mom teaches them how to hunt. They learn with their siblings to play-hunt and play-fight. However, many kittens never get a chance to chase or kill a live prey because they are housecats.
