Hi
yes it sounds like something is distressing her and making her feel irritable, which could be why she is acting aggressivily towards her kitten and the dog.
I don't think the sneezing is associated with her current problem. As for the biting and itching it sounds to me like she either has a skin problem possibly caused by an allergy (see this page for more on this)

or a parasite issue caused by fleas or some other mite.

If you cannot find the cause of your cats distress then a trip to the vets would be a good idea.
