If your mother's will named you as an heir, and she owned the house, then you would be an heir to the house (which has a deed in her name). If she had no will, then your state laws would almost always give a share of the house to any surviving children, again with only her name on the deed.

If she and someone else had a joint tenancy deed, then her will (and the state laws of intestacy) have nothing to do with it, and it automatically becomes owned by the remaining survivors of the joint tenancy. If she is the final Survivor, see above, as she had become the full owner.

Can a warranty deed be transferred back to original owner?

I'm not an attorney. A warranty deed can go back to the original owner. Why not? The original owner can acquire the property again; there is no law against that. The deed might still be a warranty deed, but if the deed has become clouded in some way while under other ownership, the original owner might possibly not receive a warranty deed when he gets the property back.
