No, of course we don’t microwave the mug WITH the teabag in it. We microwave the teabag separately.

Ideally 2 to 3 rounds, yes.
But at that point, isn’t it easier to just buy a kettle? It doesn’t require such manipulations, costs next to nothing and allows you to rapidly boil up to 1,5-2L (0,4-0,5 gal) of water for all your needs.
There’s a good reason most of the (Western, at least, dk about other places) world uses them and considers them a basic piece of kitchenware.

In the US, kettles are supposedly much slower than a microwave or even a hob due to their grid.
