Um.. sorry, what I mean "she" in my post before refers to Azusa, not Yui ^^;
Well.. here's the portion of the manga, taken from 3rd chapter of Volume 3:
Spoiler:

Notice Azusa's blush XD

Spoiler:

She blushes again and scolds Yui for interrupting XD

Spoiler:

Azusa's relieve of Mio's reaction, then she suddenly remembered Yui's candy.

If so, then yes, there is a possibility that Mio might have suggested something like handing out flyers to Tsumugi. God, I would've loved to see an interaction scene like that between her and Tsumugi. Yes, it would be just a short, pointless 15 seconds scene - but it would say so much (more).
Yeah, only the two of them. At first, It's 5 of them handed out the flyers, but no one came. Then the scene continues where Ritsu, Yui, and Azusa tries new strategy, such as Ritsu's fainting act, Yui's asking where the club room is, and then they three tries to snuck into the other clubs. While all of those happen, Mio and Tsumugi continued to hand the flyers. Back to their club room, Ritsu, Yui, and Azusa are surprised that Mio and Mugi actually continued to hand the flyers while still wearing their animal costume XD because of this, I believe it is not Ritsu and their group's initiative. Mio herself also said "we were handing flyers". She wouldn't say that if Ritsu ordered Mio and Mugi to do so.

Don't mention it. I myself won't find that out if I didn't rewatch the series (which I did a lot and focus to different characters) I was also raged on how Mugi seemed to be too silent in the anime, but I rewatched the series, and I found out that she's not forgotten at all. The scenes could be missed easily. I think it's because our attention are driven to the main plot, so those little things seems meaningless.

Well, maybe it's just because she appreciate that they like her so much because her insecure self would have her disliking herself. Hence the fans giving her the idea that she's actually worth liking might make her feel grateful. Still, the fans coulda' state some sort of reason why they like her. Otherwise, it just makes it look like they like her for her panties. Ahem.
I think you stated that clearly While I do agree that most of her fans like her mainly because of her cute self. ^^; I think, the panty incident's just a catalyst. Back in their first school festival, you can see that as soon as the curtain's open, we can hear some audience shouted "who's that? she's so cute". Those are normal, though. Well, after all, if we like a person, we almost always notice their appearance first, right? then it moves to their personality etc.

You should watch it

Yeah, I see a lot of Mio in myself. :3
Yeah, it's kinda difficult to be the only "sane" person in a group XD I'm also kind of in the same position as her and Azusa in my group.
