Sorry to just interject like that, but it bugs me when judges make mistakes on things they ought to know.
You can use a fast effect while the miracle trigger is on the stack, but It IS an ability sitting on the stack when you reveal it. If you reveal it during you draw step, you can't leave it on display an move to your main phase hoping to miracle it later in the turn.

"CR702.92a Miracle is a static ability linked to a triggered ability (see rule 603.10). "Miracle [cost]" means "You may reveal this card from your hand as you draw it if it's the first card you've drawn this turn. When you reveal this card this way, you may cast it by paying [cost] rather than its mana cost."
702.92b If a player chooses to reveal a card using its miracle ability, he or she plays with that card revealed until that card leaves his or her hand, that ability resolves, or that ability otherwise leaves the stack."
Miracle is a trigger and gets put on the stack. You can respond with other instants or fast effects, but when the Miracle ability resolves you either choose to cast the spell for its miracle cost or return the card with the rest of you hand and let the trigger lapse. From then on, you cannot cast it for its miracle cost.
No. Just assume you cast it when you draw it and you'll be fine.
Now, if you use Merfolk Looter on their turn, you have to draw and discard before you Miracle. So if you had no cards in hand, you won't be able to miracle it.
