The interface has 4 line outs, and I assume they're individually addressable from software. Seems to me you can send a couple with an alternative mix to the Mackie and use its headphone out.

"The Best" piece of gear is subjective.

I'd ditch it and use the inputs on the F'rite for mic(s) and other instruments then send a stereo pair from the F'rite to the headphone amp. That way you can have separate mixes going to the HP amp and the F'rite HP output. The mixes can be achieved from your DAW or, I think, using the F'rite mix control app.
The Berry HP amp fed from the spare line outs from the Scarlett will provide the second mix.

People often mistake me for a grown-up because of my age.

You will need to make up a 2xMono-balanced to 1xStereo-unbalanced cable though!
Easier to just plug into the Mackie as Resistorman suggests.
Which does bring us back to my second suggestion...

Re: How to control mic and mix volume while recording
True enough but the OP said the Mackie HP output was cutting out so it seems sensible to bin it rather than the, apparently working correctly, Berry HP amp.
