Most garter snakes will eat night crawlers (sold as bait) and recognize their food by the smell. Obviously, if you chop worms up into bite-sized pieces, they will no longer be alive or moving but most garter snakes will eat it anyway.

That snake looks to be a month old or younger. Garter snakes do not receive protection or guidance from "mom". As soon as they are born, they are on their own and they disperse. Could just be a coincidence that a robin snatched up a nearby baby garter when you happen to be there. It's not likely that the snake which was run over, is "mom" since there are probably a lot of adult and baby snakes in the area.
