Comments:

From a specific perspective, the definitions can be considered the same only from a different Point of View. The first definition from a Second Point of View, the second from a First Point of View.

Put another way, the first definition (i.e. you reading the situation incorrectly) could have come about as a Strategic Ploy from the opponent(s). And, the second definition is your purposeful Strategic Ploy against the opponent(s).

In this context, Mis-communication only refers to one's incorrect reading of a specific situation, it does not imply as to why (see above).

Mis-communication differs from read in that Mis-communication is a form of reading.

2)

In this context, Mis-communication implies intent to deceive, not whether the Strategic Ploy is successful or not.
