Is it normal for a cat to have their eyes open and be blinking while under anesthetic? We just got her back 2 hours ago and she's breathing fine and seeming well, she just looks hilarious and frightening at the same time haha and want to make sure she's okay. :)

Yep, some vets send them home still out of it like that. She'll be back to normal by tomorrow morning. I prefer to keep them in a carrier until they're fully awake or they might stumble into the water dish or fall down the stairs or something. In a few hours she'll be trying to stumble around so either keep an eye on her or put her somewhere safe like her carrier if you want to go to bed.
