"Then how is her mother so young looking? " 

Her mother is young looking because of the Kitsune spirit. If she didn't have it, she'd be dead because she'd be a normal human. (speculation, not fact)

It's like the werewolf bite: a person ages normally without it, but once the person becomes a werewolf, he/she will age drastically less.

I don't think Noshiko and the kitsune spirit are the same, especially after she clearly differentiated Kira from the fox spirit last episode.

Causation vs Correlation 

<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0cm;">They haven't explained whether Kira is a kitsune because her mom is also a kitsune. <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">The only thing we know is that she has a fox spirit within her. It doesn't mean that the fox spirit was born the same time as her, or that the fox spirit is her. The fox spirit could be centuries of years old, but decided to connect to Kira like how the nogitsune decided to connect to Stiles.
