You should be able to touch the kittens. I don't think anything will happen to them. When my cat has kittens, she lets us hold them right away, within a few minutes of birth. As for the box, get a bigger box. Wear an old shirt around for a day, then put it in the box for them to lay on. Don't wash the shirt. This way, the cats can smell you and get use to your smell. Plus it is comforting to the mother.

Yes you can - just do not move them too far away from Mama - she gets pretty defensive. You can put them in a bigger box, but put the box in the same place she is now. If you move them somewhere else she will go get them and bring them back. Give her clean towels or old clean sheet so that she can lay on it.

no! let your cat put her own kids to anywhere she likes. cats can find their own places that are most comfortable for them and their kids, if they have. that's what my cats' vet said.
