For (1), do you have a phone? For (2), the phone is what you would attach to the University's Wi-Fi (if your personal policies allow this).
The system is more complex but, in this case, correct. It is not sur-complicated: you have a source, a destination and a bridging router. It stands.
In this case, there are no odd points of failure - just procedures (e.g.: ensure all devices are charged/charging). Believe me, I am healthily paranoid; I write after experience. Of course, you should also test this practice with your devices well.
The energy inefficiency is already there since you are not using a cable (I do not have the numbers, but).

I guess at this point I should formulate my quest for miracast as a feature request to onyx. I wonder if the absence is due to hardware restrictions or whether they just didn't bother to implement it.

I think you should find one and try it first.
As per my other, I am not sure that Miracast is possible from Android 6.0.1 "Marshmallow" on.
