The mix of Ethernet and Wi-Fi backhaul should work as long as all the wired nodes are linked go via the "LAN" port.
If you plan getting additional mesh nodes, I suggest staying with the same model #, e.g. another MW12. The '-3' just means it's a 3-pack. Going by the Amazon reviews, I've seen people report stability issues mixing different models of Tenda nodes despite supposedly being backwards compatible.
I have not used any MW12 nodes, but I presume the wired backhaul works the same as the MW6 series.
