Concider this. Noah and his family were apparently the only good people in the world. Abraham couldn't find 10 rightous people in Sodom and Gomora. Think about all of the infants involved in the rath. What did they do.

Great question. Those infants did not carry Adam's sin. They were rather federally represented by him as carrying a sin nature. All of mankind carries this nature, no one deserves Heaven on their own. You have to realize that God's righteousness fully justifies the destruction of Man anyway.
Therefore, if God will show mercy upon whoever He wants, then infants are included.

A sin is committed when someone does something wrong while knowing its wrong, so there were probably innocent people. However, Noah's Ark is only a story; the bible is an instrument of God used to help convey important messages and although the message is always accurate, it may not be historically accurate according to the Catholic Church.

Yes, they can. Although they are small they can still sin. They have a mouth and a set of arms and legs. They can lie and other stuff. Short answer: yes they can.

Not deliberately.
but they HAVE inherited sin from Adam and Eve.
As such, they can be classed as sinners.
