Sorry for the delay. Here's your answers...
Is Po's mother's name ever given/mentioned?
Not in the book. Li has a brief scene with Po where Li reminisces about her while showing Po a picture that's in a shrine for her. That might wind up different in the film and she may be given a name for all I know.
Do Mr Ping and Li get along, or is there a rivalry?
Ping is a little wary of Li at first, and he has his reasons- mainly that he's afraid to lose Po to his birth father. Li harbors no animosity towards Ping at all. Quite the opposite as he gives Mr. Ping a big hug for taking care of his son all these
years.At one point later in the story Mr. Ping eventually accepts that Li is important to Po, and consoles Li when Po is angry with him (another spoiler itself that I won't say unless you wish it) and Mr. Ping says "Your son got mad at you. Welcome to parenthood."
Is there any interaction between Li and Shifu or the Furious Five?
Yes to both- albeit briefly. Po introduces Li to everyone at the Jade Palacebut then the introduction is cut short when Kai's jade zombie minions attack.
Keep in mind that things may play out differently in the final film- not every gesture or facial expression is mentioned in the book.
Again sorry for the delay. And if you or anyone else has more questions feel free to ask.

Awesome. Thanks for the answers. One more question, then I'm done.
What exactly was Po mad at Li about? I can't imagine Po getting mad, unless somebody threatened/insulted people he cared about.
Thanks again!

Just a little FYI- you may want to edit your original post and put a Spoiler tag around your question- this last one you asked in particular is a slight spoiler.
What exactly was Po mad at Li about? I can't imagine Po getting mad, unless somebody threatened/insulted people he cared about.
Mr. Ping isn't using "mad" as in infuriated or angry, but as in very upset and disappointed.
A quick summary without even further plot spoilers is that Li lied to Po about having knowledge on the power of Chi- which according to a scroll written by Ooogway is the only thing that can defeat Kai.
I had originally a much lengthier summary that was damn near a spoiler for half of the story elements. No doubt my quick summation will leave you with more questions, and if you're eager to ask then feel free to do so. Just remember to use the spoiler tag for potentially story revealing questions for the sake of others.

How is the fight between Kai and Shifu? And how is the fight between Kai and Oogway? What's the best scene in the film? And what does Kai say right before being defeated?

Sorry I can't answer about the film itself. I've only read the novelization. I can give you some answers about the story, but nothing about the film.
However I can answer this question:
And what does Kai say right before being defeated?
It might be very cliche-but he says:NO!
That could be different in the final film though.
