It'd be best to remove the male, shortly after giving birth the female will come into heat again and the male will mate with her and you'll have more piggies on the way and a pile of health problems.
Check her and make sure she's not bleeding or acting odd or sickly, she may need a trip to the vet if she's making weird sounds or acting oddly.

Seperate the male now, He can mate with the female straight after she has given birth, and he is obviously causing her distress if she is crying. Also after she has given birth remove any male babies from the females at three weeks old as they are sexually active from this age.

Yes, you need to seperate them. Your male can impregnate the female shortly after she has given birth, and back to back pregnancies are extremely hard on the female.
GuineaLynx is the best care, emergency, and medical guide for guinea pigs. This link, on reproduction, in GuineaLynx will explain everything. Please read the other articles on GuineaLynx too.

Also, since your nephews herd will be expanded, here's a site on inexpensive housing ideas so they can peacefully be housed together(after seperating the sexes, of course).

Yes separate them. The female needs her privacy and with the male there she haves none. Soon or later she is gonna give birth. DO NOT put the male with her. Separate the male or it may be a possibility that she wouldn't want to give birth.

yes you should. when the babies are born be sure NOT to touch the babies no matter what. let the mother take care of her babies. a vet said never to touch a rodent's babies. it's hard to explain but overall there's a good reason why.
