No.

If your rabbit was wild, and there were rats around, she'd move her babies to a safer nest, or she would abandon them. It is very unlikely that she'd stick around and fight the rats. That's just not what rabbits do.

Because they're your pets, your rabbit can't move her babies to a safe place. As their owner, that's your job to make the nest safe. If the babies are newborn and there are rats around, your rabbit might eat her babies. If the babies are more grown than that, she may let the rats steal them or she may try and fight the rats. Letting your pet fight a wild animal probably counts as criminal negligence (although laws differ from place to place); either way, it's terribly immoral.

Yes. Just like any animal the mother (doe) will protect the kittens from predators. They will attack, kick, bite and claw.
