Can a hen that was hatched from a incubator still go broody

Yes, broodiness is not determined by where a hen is hatched but by her hormonal makeup. Breeds that tend to go broody will frequently go broody whether they were hatched in an incubator or under a mother hen.

When a hen is broody then it means that she wants to hatch her eggs.

Yes, broody hens stop laying and instead sit on and incubate the eggs that are already laid.
