If Im Under 18 and My Parent Claims Me As a Dependent In Her Tax Return, Will I Get Any Return?

I am a High School student and I have made ~$4500 at my current job with taxes being deducted from every paycheck. My Mom always have claimed me as a dependent because I live with her, but she is very vague about me filing my own tax return. So I have a few questions?

A. Do I need to file?

B. If I file, how much would I be looking to get back (roughly speaking)?

C. How would me filing impact her tax return?
