Are there suppose to be veins in the back of throat?

Of course: ...They are and sometimes you could even see them so it is normal to have and see them. Veins bring back blood back to the heart ( to the pump) arteries (they pulsate) carry blood from the heart everywhere in the body back of the throat included..
