I bought the mixtrack 3 because it was cheaper for me to get a small 2 channel mixer and control my master and monitor separately with dedicated knobs (a preference I ended up really enjoying).
As far a small mixer I bought this as my interface and it's perfect for my uses.

Best best is an audio interface. This one is $40 with a $32 used option, I've never personally used it.

This one is $40 with a $35 used option. I use it as a discord audio interface so I can use my nice mic on calls.

You're only spending slightly more than the adapter you're looking for.
Gotcha. The best way is to use an audio mixer. Here's a good one:

That one connects to your computer as a soundcard. Push all sound from your PC through that, then attach your console to one of the other inputs. Attach your headphones to the output, and you'll hear both sources.
Another (worse) way is to output your console audio into the line input on your PC soundcard:

Edit: I didn't address your want for graphic filters. A capture card will do that, but not without delays. From the thread you linked: "For a 720p frame FXAA takes 1.3ms on my setup -- TPXAA can take 2.8 - 3.6."
Also would this meet my needs with the proper cords?
What's your budget like? Here's a $70-80 budget setup that actually sounds quite good for voice overs:
How much of a budget are you looking for to spend on that Webcam? Because I can tell you right now, it probably doesn't exist. What you can do, and what I use on my Mac, is get a USB mixer, like this one, and a XLR microphone, like this one and an XLR male to XLR female, because that microphone comes with a XLR female to male 3.5mm jack only (and no it won't plug into your computer and work fine, it needs power provided by the mixer). This should run you less than $80. And it will work as a separate microphone from your webcam when you plug it into your Mac. On ElGato, choose the microphone input as USB Audio Codex when it's plugged in.
On the mixer, you have 2 channels: the XLR input, and a left and right channel through RCA inputs. There is also a left and right RCA out for speakers, and a 1/4" Jack out for headphones. There is also a USB assign to line, but you don't want to use that because it will make your computer audio go to the mixer and out the monitor and RCA outs, and you can not input at the same time to the computer. You can adjust your gain for the microphones separate from the line 2&3 RCA inputs, I keep mine a little more than halfway. And you can plug an extra audio source for music, like a phone or iPod, in through the RCA jacks (using an RCA male to 3.5mm male) and adjust that separately, and then you can boost the master output of both of those, I keep mine about 60-70%).
Edit: Or, I just thought of this. Get a usb sound card, the ones that are like $6 and have a 3.5mm jack for headphones and another for mic. Then, you can choose this as USB microphone in ElGato. But, I still think my first option gives you better quality and more control, and the benefit of adding that extra audio input through an outside source, at a reasonable price.
Not simultaneously no. It's a switch. If you want to play them both at the same time, you'll need a mixer, and they're much pricier. Perhaps this one would suffice.
Also, the output of the switch or mixer goes to the input of the M10s.
This will handle two XLR mics - I've used it, besides the cheap plastic housing, it's fine.
This wil handle one, no clue if it's good or not, but I've used other stuff by this brand and it's worked fine.
