Welcome to the forum.
Yes you can get another NOW TV box for your mother and add it to your account, as you say you can have up to four devices in total registered to one account, and all devices can watch any passes on that account.
You don't need to get a Smart Box, any of the NOW TV boxes will be fine.
The only thing that might prove a problem is that only 2 devices can be streaming NOW TV content at any one time, so if you are watching NOW TV on one box and your daughter is watching NOW TV on her laptop, it wouldn't let your mum watch NOW TV on her box (although other apps like BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub etc aren't affected by this).
If that's not a problem, you're good to go.
PS always a good idea when other people are using your account to enable your Payment PIN to prevent accidental purchases if you haven't already

No you don't need to connect to an aerial if you don't have one, obviously the Smart Box won't be able to be used to view Freeview transmissions, but all the other apps on the box will still work as normal. Alternately you can get the cheaper NOW TV box that doesn't have an aerial connection.

You're welcome, yep all the live channels you get as part of your NOW TV passes will work as normal, you can also watch live BBC in the BBC iPlayer app and live ITV in the ITV Hub app.
Enjoy your boxes! 🙂
