I see I made I mistake.

The second sentence should me: '' What would Mike do if he had been here?''

or is this an incorrect sentence?

What would Mike do (now) if he had been here (in the past) doesn’t make sense.

what would Mike do - present
if he were here - present

what would Mike have done - past
if he had been here - past
