I am looking for something for my 80 + Mother so it needs to be simple, would this camera work for her?

Frankly, I would not recommend it. I bought it to replace an earlier Sony digital camera I had, which was truly a "point and shoot"- always gave great pictures. This one has an impressive list of features (I never use 99% of them) but I'm still having trouble simply "taking pictures". It's possible that it might work fine with the right settings, but I haven't had success. Example of the complexity- I printed out (from the online manual) the definitions of all the icons that can appear on the camera's screen- it's about four pages worth (!) of tiny nondescript icons which no "normal" person could memorize. Yeah, I'm old (75) and old-school, but I suspect your mom might not get satisfaction from this camera.

Does the camera come with a memory card?

No. According to the help guide, "Using internal memory: The camera has approximately 27 MB of internal memory." You can purchase other media cards to store data on as well.

How long of a lag time is there between shots? Does this camera have something like a burst mode; taking a rapid series of shots?

It does have a "burst mode"; however, it is not as you would expect it to be. It is a bit slower than the traditional DSLR/SLR. Thus far, as per my usage, it has been satisfactory. Suffice it to say that if you are looking to capture a hummingbird in perfect detail and in multiple shots, this camera will fall just a bit short.

I purchased a Fuji Finepix S4300 that gives me dark and yellowed photos when taken indoors. How does the Sony DSCW830/B rate for taking photos inside of an office?

The pictures are great! They come out nice, whether taken outdoors or indoors. I love that the camera can take panoramic pictures. My son and daughter have similar Sony cameras that they have had for awhile so I bought one because they recommended it.
