The past tax year I was 17 until September. And I was wondering if I could combine mine with my mother's and sister's, who was 16. If the answer is a yes, how can I do that? Thank you.

I'm not totally sure of the rules regarding minor children. We file my son's separately, so I think it has to be separate. Even if it were possible, I doubt that you'd want to, because you and your sister should be exempt, and will get all your withholdings back. But if you add those salaries to your mother's it might put her into a higher tax bracket, and she might end up having to pay more.

No, each person's income is separate and if they file, must be filed on a separate return, with the correct name and social security number on each.
If you had three different jobs yourself, then you would combine them and file one return.

No, you can't do that. Each of you must file your own returns.
The only time you can combine income is if you are married and file a joint return with your spouse.
