Unlike humans that can express themselves if a cat is not feeling well and in pain they will generally go off to a secluded area of the home and stay away from family.

If the cat has not been playing/running around, and has been just lounging around, it could mean it has a cold. It does not mean that they are deathly ill though. Give your kitty a few days to recoup. It might just be a temporary cold like humans get. If it persists for more than 3 days, i would consider taking it to a vet.

Your other cat may look for the other cat, and maybe call out to it. It may wander around looking lost and listless, so it may be a good idea to check that the cat is eating and drinking.

That depends on how cold or hot it is where you live. If it is too cold the kittens will need shelter so you need to give the cat a pet carrier with a blanket in it, or some kind of shelter for her kittens.

Typically, the urine of all animals can harm us humans. Hence, it is best to avoid coming in contact with, or inhaling animal urine or feces. Sometimes, contact or consumption(in the case of toddlers) of urine and feces of pets(dogs, cats,etc.) can lead to a harmful disease called Leptospirosis. Hence, it is best to avoid unnecessary contact with our pets excreta. Toddlers and children who are at the crawling stage should be carefully monitored as they often tend to unknowingly touch or inhale their pet's excreta.

I highly doubt a cat would fake a limp. Though they are very intelligent, they don't really have a reason for faking a limp. If they want attention, they find it in other ways like scratching something, or just getting in your face! If your cat is limping, there most likely is a problem with it and your cat is probably in pain.
