Hi there. Yes, it's normal for cats to vocalize constantly, make odd noises, and try to escape the house when they're in heat. It's also normal for her to be losing her baby teeth at this age. I would recommend having her spayed as soon as possible if you are not planning to breed her, since she will continue to go into heat every few weeks otherwise.
