[rules] Sneak timing and Maze of Ith

The attacking player attacks with some creature. The defending player doesn't block, so the attacking player plays [[Michelangelo, Improviser]] using his first ability (sneak). The defending player targets Michelangelo using a [[Maze of Ith]].

Can the defending player target Michelangelo using the Maze (probably yes, since it enters attacking), and is it possible early enough to prevent it from dealing damage (thus also preventing his second ability from triggering)?

[rules] Impossible effect (Tom Bombadil)

[[Tom Bombadil]]'s second ability says: "...reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a Saga card. Put that card onto the battlefield and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order".

What if the (remaining) library does not contain any Saga cards? I suppose Tom's controller won't lose the game because it says "reveal" and not "draw". Does it mean that the whole library ends up being revealed and then being ordered as the controller wishes?

[rules] Airbending and cast triggers

If I cast a permanent again for 2 after airbending it, will its cast triggers be triggered again. Can I, for example, use [[Appa, Loyal Sky Bison]] to airbend [[Emrakul, the Promised End]], and take control of another player for the 2 recast cost? Or will even Emrakul's cast cost reduction apply, allowing me to do this for even less?
