I know it's a stupid question, but I don't want to make a stupid mistake either...

Yes...It will just look kind of funny being in such a large case. Some of the mobo standoffs might not line up, but enough should that it won't be a problem.

Micro ATX boards are, if I remember the specs correctly, supposed to fit into atx cases.

Any board with "ATX" in its name will fit in a "ATX" case, this also includes ITX and mini ITX if I can get in to my picture host (around 5) I can post an overlay of the motherboards I made a while back
I didn't define the mount hole locations but they are shared between all
