Question: Is it going to be able to make a normal bunch with only 3 leaves? Also, the daughter pup is growing rapidly. Since it is still attached to the mother, will it be able to contribute nutrients to the mother and allow at least a semi-normal bunch of bananas?

I wouldn't worry. 3 leaves is enough. Some succeded with only 1 leaf.
Let the pup be. If you seperate it, you will probably stress the plant and that wouldn't be good. It's going to replace the mother after it's done fruiting.
Let nature do it's thing...
