Stray kitten...

I was out in my back yard last night cutting down the overgrown tall grass
and weeds and found a couple new born kittens (looks to be a month or so
old, old enough to run and scamper around) hidding in the tall grass and
managed to rescue one of them that had tried to escape and got caught in the
2"x3" (or so) wire we have around the base of our fence (due to the fact
that we used to have a dog in the yard trying to escape).  The kitten is
real fisty and as my son calls it, "a kitten from hell, a demonic cat"
(hisses and lashes at every movement around it [presently caged in a cat
carrier]). Some told me last night that when a human handles the kitten, the
mother cat will abandon it and let it wonder around and die.  Would this
young kitten return to it's family and be welcomed it we let it back out in
the yard this evening after we managed to finish mowing the tall grass down
and cleaning up the back yard?

Secondly, if this kiten was born in the wild, can it be house trained and
would it be tame enough to live inside with humans?

Yes.
It's a matter of building trust and forming rules.
Be gentle, but firm... not harsh and rough.
