Why might some marine mammals have thick layers of fat under their skin?
A layer of blubber is useful because it keeps heat in. For a marine mammal, this saves energy that would otherwise be wasted to keep the animal warm. This is especially useful fort marine mammals that live in Arctic or Antarctic waters, which are barely above freezing temperatures and would freeze a mammal to death if it didn't have a thick layer of blubber.

Not as whales, no. Marine (sea) mammals (whales, dolphins, etc.) are descended from terrestrial (land) mammals, but they're not identical with those land mammals... among the more obvious changes, they've lost their legs. The related links section has a link to a Wikipedia page showing what some of the distant ancestors of whales might have looked like.
