I would leave them be. Has the other one pipped? The heat lamp should keep them warm enough. Make sure that if the lid is sealed all the way on the plastic bin there are some airholes.

No. She will hurt them. It has been too long since the others hatched. She is not going to sit on the nest and may mess up the hatching. If she doesn't mess with the hatching she or another hen will probably peck at them.

Like around what temperature should they be

If they're cool, start them at 99.5°F. Once warmed up, drop the temp to 98.5°F for the rest of the lockdown period.

Humidity should be at 55% - 65% during lockdown.
