That "Whoop whoop whoop" sound you are
hearing is the raccoon kits up the tree where the mother sends them when there is danger. That sound is like a homing signal so that they can find each other after they scatter from whatever the danger is. It might be a cat the mom is fighting with, or another raccoon or any number of things.
No, the eye of a raccoon (or any other animal, for that matter) does not glow in the night. It's an optical trick that makes the eyes of animals appear to glow in the dark, and it's related to the method used to photo graph them. See the related question below for more information.

The raccoon is mostly nocturnal. It is also solitary, except for mothers and their young. In the winter the raccoon may sleep in its den for a few weeks but it does not hibernate. The raccoons usually walks, but it can run at speeds of up to 15 miles an hour. It is also a good swimmer and often hunts for food in the water. The raccoon makes a variety of vocalizations including hisses, whistles, screams, growls and snarls. If disturbed by humans or other animals a raccoon will wander out during daylight hours. They are smart creatures and learn fast that sometime food is more available at certain times of day.

Raccoons can make a hooting like call when they are communicating with each other across long distances. It sounds very similar to an Owl's hoot, except it ends with a purr-like growl at the end. Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoooo-purr.
