The citizens of District 12 make the 3 finger salute towards Katniss when she volunteers to take her sister's place as the female tribute in the 74th Hunger Games. They salute her because what she is basically doing is giving up her life to spare her sister's and the citizens find it very courageous.

Why dont the people of District 12 clap when katniss volunteers?

The fact the people of District 12 don't clap for Katniss symbolizes a final gesture of rebellion and respect. At least in this small way, the people of the Seam can rebel against the Capitol, can refuse to give in to the Capitol's control. It's a act of rebellion against the Capitol yes, but also a example of respect to Katniss. They won't let the Capitol mock her with its cruel interpretation of this [the Hunger Games] as simply a game, something to celebrate, to enjoy.

Is Katniss's anger toward her mother justified?

Depends on how you look at it. When her father died in a mine explosion, Katniss's mother just completely tuned out and literally did nothing but just stare off into space. This left an 11-year-old Katniss on her own in finding a way to fend for herself and her family. They all nearly died of hunger and she knew that in order to survive, she'd have to hunt illegally.
