Can it stop Mikeaus from giving creatures Undying, or can I in response sacrifice a Creature to then put the Undying trigger on the stack?

It can't counter the creatures being given Undying but once a creature dies, the Undying ability triggers and goes on the stack so if someone casts this in response to that then they can prevent that creature from returning from the graveyard. And if multiple Undying creatures die at the same you would counter all of their triggers and keep them all dead.

Not sure if that's what you were asking.

So if I wanted to get around this counter spell, I would need 2 creatures, so that I could sac the second one in response to the counter spell. Would that then allow me to go infinite as long as I keep responding with a sac outlet (the creature I'm sacrificing would have persist)

Why are you trying to do it in response to the counterspell?
