If the mom is a silver mackerel tabby and the dad is a ginger classic tabby (would be solid if he weren't ginger), what would the kittens look like? Also is it possible for the mother to have blue eyes despite not having any white fur? Like maybe Ss white spotting but it doesn't show or something? Idk I'm just guessing but can something like that happen? Tyvm for your help ~

I think this is technically possible under the conditions you describe but I would advise against it because it’s really not probable. It’s far better to just give her a tiny bit of white, even just a locket. It’s already pretty uncommon for a cat to have blue eyes when they don’t have a pretty high amount of white spotting (e.g., at least enough to have white around the eyes), much less when they aren’t visibly white at all.
As for the kittens:
Male kits will be black-based, female kits will be tortie-based.
If the mom carries solid, each kit has a 50/50 chance of being solid vs. tabby. Otherwise, every kit will be tabby. If the mom carries classic, each tabby kit will have a 50/50 chance of being classic vs. mackerel. Otherwise, every tabby kit will be mackerel.
If the mom carries the non-silver gene, each kit has a 50/50 chance of being non-silver vs. silver or smoke. If the mom doesn’t, every kit will be silver or smoke -- silver if tabby and smoke if solid.
