She must be weaning it. Mother cats to that sometimes, like your mother might have made you go outside when you were bothering her. The older the kittens get, the sharper their tiny teeth get, so when they nurse their mother pushes them away now and then because they hurt her. This is very common; don't worry, they will be okay.

Will a mother cat kill one of her kittens if she knows it has something wrong and it is dying anyway?

No, this will not happen. There are only a few, firmly defined, instances where the mother cat's instincts tell her to abandon or drive away her own kittens. How a mother cat treats her kittens is a function of what stage her hormones are in following the birth, combined with her environmental cues. If there are conditions of stress. the mother will drive away her kittens as they grow, so they can establish their own hunting territories. If there is something wrong with one of the kittens, the mother will abandon them so a doomed kitten will not use up resources that will not help them.

Will the mother cat take a kitten back after it spent the night ithe house with two oher cats?

That is a good question. It may but first you need to remove the other cats scent from the kitten. Give it a short bath in kitten shampoo. After the kitten is dry, rub the kitten against the mama cat without the mama seeing the kitten. Doing this puts mamas scent back on the kitten and will make for a better meeting.
