No. 'Apni' refers to the subject of the sentence. The subject of this sentence is 'तुम्हारी माँ की बहन'. So, 'apni' would refer to her, not you.
तुम्हारी माँ की बहन अपनी मौसी हैं would thus mean 'Your mother's sister is her own aunt'.
You might be confusing 'apni' with 'aapki' though. 'आपकी' is a form of आप (polite 'you') and that can certainly be used in this sentence.
आपकी माँ की बहन आपकी मौसी हैं।
If I'm familiar terms with you but not your mother is it still OK to use "तुम्हारी"? Would it change if the person's mother was present e.g. if I said "Pass me your mother's plate".
Yes. You decide on tu/tum/aap depending on the person you are talking to (the son/daughter). So whether or not the mother is present doesn't matter.
मामी is also maternal aunt but she is your mother's sister-in-law (her brother's wife). So, तुम्हारी माँ की भाभी तुम्हारी मामी हैं। where भाभी is one's brother's wife.

What is this? They don't give me any words to choose from so Ijust have to type the answer in Hindi but I have no Hindi keys on my keyboard.
By itself, yes. But it can be used in a sentence like this without issues.
