The relevant ruling for this situation:

An action cannot continue "as if unblocked" after a combat resulting from a successful action. [RTR 19970630]

BTW, even without this ruling Form of Mist would also be unplayable (from current card text) because the stealth is not needed, as there is no blocker.

There can be a blocking minion. It's not because combat occurs that the blocking minion is no longer considered as such, until the next block attempt.
By comparing the stealth of the acting minion with the intercept of the blocking minion, you can determine whether stealth is "needed", that is the current stealth of the acting minion is lesser than the current intercept of the blocking minion.

It's a shortcut for "If this vampire is acting and has less stealth than the blocking minion has intercept..."

??

The action was successful = there is no blocking minion.

Sorry, I thought you meant there was a loophole in the wording of Form of Mist. My mistake.
