My mother accidentally claimed me as a dependent. She plans to file an amendment to fix the issue but has already received her initial refund. Can she cash that check for now, and will the IRS charge her interest on the overpayment they sent her?

If your mom accidentally claimed you a dependent when she was not eligible to claim you, then she can cash the check. As long as the amount owed to the IRS is repaid by April 18th, 2017 she will not be charged any overpayment penalties. She can pay the IRS by either sending a check or paying the IRS directly via their various payment methods on the IRS website.
