Yes - Lennie accidentally crushed one when he was trying to pet it.

Yes, as has been noted, there was at least one mouse in the story, but that is beside the point. The title is taken from a line in a poem by Robert Burns, not Robert Frost, "the best laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft a-gley." Or, in other words, "the best laid plans of mice and men often go wrong." Thus the title refers to the plans the guys had to save up their money and buy a little place of their own, where Lenny could tend the rabbits, etc. Something unforseen happened that completely derailed their "best laid plans."
Oh, all right, I suppose the mouse that Lenny killed might have had "plans," too, but they certainly went "a-gley."

I think there might have been one, but if you're talking about the title, it refers to the Robert Frost poem that says, "the best laid plans/of mice and men/often go astray".

Yes, the big guy (you will remember the names, no doubt) killed a little mouse by accident.
