The question is confusing because 'play' is an informal term and typically means the same as 'activating' anyway.
You either Set MST face-down on the field, and flip it at any time after the turn ends, or place it face-up to activate immediately. You don't 'do' anything with it after that, its effect will resolve and the card will go to the graveyard.
If you or your opponent activates Heavy Storm and you chain by activating Mystical Space Typhoon and target the activated Heavy Storm, the chain resolves backwards. The effect of Mystical Space Typhoon destroys Heavy Stormas it is placed on the field when activated. However, the destruction of Heavy Storm does not negate its effect and, as it is Chain Link 1, its effect resolves last destroying all Spell and Trap cards on the field including the activated Mystical Space Typhoon.
If the controller of Reinforcements has a monster face-up on the field, you can chain Reinforcements to Mystical Space Typhoon, because both Reinforcements and Mystical Space Typhoon are Spell Speed 2.
Only if you haven't activated it yet. Scenario 1: player A summons Kerykeion. Player B activates Fiendish Chain. Player A activates Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Fiendish Chain. Player A is allowed to activate Kerykeion's effect. Scenario 2: Player A summons Kerykeion. Player B allows it. Player A activates Kerykeions effect, removing an Evilswarm monster and and targeting to add a different Evilswarm monster. Player B responds with Fiendish Chain, targeting Kerykeion. Player A then plays Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Fiendish Chain. Player A is no longer allowed to activate Kerykeion this turn since his effect was already activated this turn.
If Fire Formation - Tenki's effect is activated, and Mystical Space Typhoon is chained, targeting it, then Tenki will be destroyed when MST resolves. Continuous Spell/Trap cards must remain face-up on the field for their effects to resolve, so in this case Tenki will resolve without effect. To 'Miss the Timing' is a term relating to Optional Triggers, which is something completely different.
You can't interrupt a chain while it is resolving. So Call of the Haunted is chained to Mystical Space Typhoon. Call of the Haunted resolves first, summoning the target. However even if it has a Quick effect, it can't be used here as the chan has not finished resolving. Mystical Space Typhoon will then resolve as normal. However, if the monster has a continuous effect, this will become active after CotH resolves, but before MST can. If it was Jinzo for example, that means he'd survive, if his CotH was MST's target. There aren't many other useful ones that could be applied in this case though.
If you or your opponent activates Heavy Storm and you chain by activating Mystical Space Typhoon and target the activated Heavy Storm, the chain resolves backwards. The effect of Mystical Space Typhoon destroys Heavy Stormas it is placed on the field when activated. However, the destruction of Heavy Storm does not negate its effect and, as it is Chain Link 1, its effect resolves last destroying all Spell and Trap cards on the field including the activated Mystical Space Typhoon.
If the controller of Reinforcements has a monster face-up on the field, you can chain Reinforcements to Mystical Space Typhoon, because both Reinforcements and Mystical Space Typhoon are Spell Speed 2.
Cards resolve in the opposite order that they are activated in. So, your Mystical Space Typhoon will be chain link 1, and their Trap will be chain link 2. That means their trap will resolve first, and MST will resolve afterwards.
All traps except for counter and continuous still work even if destroyed by MST
Only if you haven't activated it yet. Scenario 1: player A summons Kerykeion. Player B activates Fiendish Chain. Player A activates Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Fiendish Chain. Player A is allowed to activate Kerykeion's effect. Scenario 2: Player A summons Kerykeion. Player B allows it. Player A activates Kerykeions effect, removing an Evilswarm monster and and targeting to add a different Evilswarm monster. Player B responds with Fiendish Chain, targeting Kerykeion. Player A then plays Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Fiendish Chain. Player A is no longer allowed to activate Kerykeion this turn since his effect was already activated this turn.

yes, but it would be useless to do that. you would be better off to wait for a better card

Yes, you can. Scapegoat is a Quickplay Spell card, so its activation can be chained to another Quickplay Spell card, such as Mystical Space Typhoon.

Mystical Space Typhoon will still resolve fully, but Scapegoat will have resolved first, before it did so. Mystical Space Typhoon is not a negation card, all it does is destroy a target, and in this situation, it did just that. It would not be accurate to say Mystical Space Typhoon has 'no effect' here because it did still resolve fully. If any card looked for spell card resolutions, or card destruction, the above scenario would trigger them. However apart from that, the Mystical Space Typhoon is doing nothing more than destroying a card that was about to go to the graveyard already.
