Threat from the East

It has a key Word "Then".

If choose the effect A: Draw 3 then discard 3.

(1) If I draw 0-2 cards due to draw cap, do I need to discard 3?

(2) If I have Laughing Storm in play, I will only draw 3 cards but no discard, right?

If choose the effect B: Discard 3 then draw 3.

(1) If I only have 1-2 cards in hand, do I need to discard anyway?

(2) If I discard 0-2 cards since I have only 0-2 cards in hand, can I draw 3 then?

(3) Will Laughing Storm will prevent the effect B taking place?

btw, 2 questions.

(a) Can Laughing Storm improve Val's ability to be draw and play but no discard?

(b) Can Dark Star be put into play if somebody discard his hand to cancel "Narrow Escape"?
