I doubt it. Not if she left for 8 hours.
How many eggs have to be in the nest for them to sit?
It depends on the chicken. Some will sit and then gradually get more and more eggs. Chickens in all don't have a "limit" of eggs they will sit. Often a hen will go broody without sitting on any eggs. Some hens have sat on twenty eggs but it can be hard for them. Sometimes one egg. But on average and for an average chicken, it would be around a dozen.
Can you move a broody hen?
Do you mean move eggs being incubated? If you move eggs from under a chicken, she may move with them, or she may just leave them. If she has been sitting for a few days it is best to throw away the eggs. I have a very young chicken sitting right now, on all the eggs she can find! It remains to be seen if she will stay the course, or if the eggs are fertilized as the cockerel is quite old. I have moved eggs from where they were being sat on, but the chicken did not sit on them once moved. She was in a flower bed, and not really in a safe place. After about a week, she was disturbed by a hedgehog, at 2:00 in the morning. If a hen is determined enough, and you can somehow move her and the eggs simultaneously, it may work. They can be moved to an incubator and kept at the same temperature, but once left uncovered for a few hours, they are unlikely to hatch. ******************************************************************** Of course you can move chicken eggs. I have taken them from the coop and have put them in the incubator with an undetermined age of the eggs. After they are in the incubator I handle them with protective gloves to avoid contamination.

No. In the old days, before incubators, setting hens sat upon the eggs to keep them warm. I have a hen that sits on her eggs, even though they are not fertile. I have to lift her up to collect them.
