Also the USS Defiant being in the mirror universe is a reference to when the Enterprise series (the one with Scott Bakula) went into the mirror universe.

This bothered me but I thought had misheard. But you are right, here are the exact words from the transcript.
First:
SARU: I may have something.
The quantum signature of the Cooper, as well as that of the Vulcan cruiser, are inconsistent with ours.
BURNHAM: That's not possible.
All matter native to our universe resonates with the same quantum signature, nothing can change it.
That's true.
Unless this is not our universe.
Then later:
The rebel logs show their ships being attacked by a vessel with a warp signature matching our Discovery, but with a quantum signature matching this universe.
They're hailing us again, sir.
That signature seems to have vanished at the same coordinates where we popped in.
- So - It is possible we switched places with their Discovery.
I'm gonna run with Mr. Saru's theory in the hope that we don't bump into ourselves and blow our cover.
- Burnham.
- Modifying our ship's signature to match that of mirror Discovery.
