My Mother has 5 children. She split ownership of her house into 3rds. How can we all be assured that the sale will be shared equally to all 5 kids.

If the house in in joint tenants with right of survivorship, and your mother dies, the house will go to the two sisters, and there is nothing you can do to make sure that the other siblings receive a share of the house.  If the house is owned as tenants in common, all of the siblings will inherit mom's 1/3 shar eof the house, but again, there is nothing you can do to make them give you any portion of the proceeds.

What makes up the net value of an estate. Is it only the monies that enter in and out of the estate account

For estate tax purposes, this amount would be included in the estate value.  the exemption in New Jersey is any amount  under the total of $675,000.  If the estate is over that amount, estate taxes are due.

Living trust

Medicaid does not "take" your home.  You need to be able to pay for the care that you are receiving.  If you are in a skilled nursing facilty, and are not likely to leave there, then the home is sold and the proceeds are used to pay for your care as the care is being received.  No one "takes" the home.  If your assets run out, and you still need care, then Medicaid will be available to pay for the care.  You should not worry about protecting your assets as much as you  should worry about having enough assets to provide the care you need in the setting that you want.
