my husky is 7 weeks old. She growls and barks at her toys sometimes (espicalluy her kong). Is that normal for a puppy? Should I take the toy away from her?

OH NO! That just means she LOVES that toy. Let her work it all out on her own. I imagine that when puppies do that it is much like when children use their imagination to,... say, play with their Barbies or something. The puppy is just being imaginative and clearly LOVES any toy at which it bothers to vocalize. Have you shown her a mirror yet? Get videos. ;)

Let her have fun with her toy. She is telling it she is the boss. My broom fell over one day and now when my shepherd get close to it she growls and barks at it. I laugh.

That's normal. My dogs do that too. Especially the youngest one. Your puppy is just playing. As long as she isn't growling at people or snapping at them or you, I wouldn't worry about it.

Normal, no problems. Just make sure she sticks to toys YOU want her to have

Very normal, my dog does this too. She is just having fun. That is like a child talking to their doll.

Nah, she is just playing.
I would say if she get's too rambunctious or obsessive with it - it could become a problem... Maybe she needs more exercise?

Of course it's normal. she thinks it's prey and she pretending she hunting. It's all a game for her.
