If Howling Mine leaves the battlefield before it resolves, then the last known tap or untap state of the card is used for resolution.
2004-10-04
The additional draw is separate from any other draw during your draw step. It happens when the triggered ability resolves.

The triggered ability is put onto the stack after you have already drawn your card for the turn.
