At 1 week old, you can determine the gender of a kitten by looking at the distance between the anus and the genital opening. In male kittens, this distance is greater than in female kittens.

Yes, if mama cat is comfortable witgh you, there shouldn't be a problem touching the kittens. But don't forget, 1 week old kitten haven't opened their eyes yet so they need their mother very much, so try to handle them too much.
Mom cats often adopt another cat's litter, especially if the mom recently gave birth. For young kittens, that's okay BUT mom will need more food with protein (e.g. a good dry and wet food). However, 12-week old kittens should NOT be nursing. Separate the older kittens from their "adopted" mom and get them onto dry food.
