Since [[Irma, Part-Time Mutant]] says she becomes a copy of “up to one” other target creature you control, does that mean I don’t have to choose to copy anything and she still gets the +1/+1 counters?
And if she’s copying something else already, I don’t have to change which one she’s copying and she still gets the counters right?
Thanks!!

Yes
You don't have to choose one when it says "up to one". She should still get a counter even if you don't choose anything. From her notes and rules information.
You don't have to choose a target for Irma's ability. However, if you do and the target creature is an illegal target as Irma's ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. Irma won't become a copy of anything else, and you won't put a +1/+1 counter on her.
If you copied her with a spark double, and then each copy targeted the other, would you get two copies of the ability? And then an additional copy of the ability each time?
If you stack the abilities right it should work like that, but even faster than you’re thinking if you stagger each activation. I have a clone deck, how did I not think of this 😭
Yeah it should work like that. That is so devious😭😭
Each copy of the ability causes it to retain only *that* ability. The most copies of the ability you can get will be two per Irma.
