I've tried this before. Only works on someone headphones/earbuds - assuming you mean the in-line microphone.

No, you need the opposite of that: http://www.amazon.es/auriculares-splitter-TODEAL-Headphone-Splitter/dp/B00S4FA62K/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1440430217&sr=8-3&keywords=3%2C5+splitter

Makes it so the 1 port from your earpods becomes 2 (splits the 1 audio jack into 1 audio jack and a microphone jack)

No.

You connect your earpods to the adapter, then plug the pink part of adapter to mic in, and connect your headset as normal
