Thought it was a bit stupid for Michonne to knock on that door and then stand on the other side of it, not knowing whether Rick and Carl were on edge. Coulda been shot if she had misjudged.

It was explained at one point that if the walkers aren't feeding, they gradually become weaker and more docile. A walker without arms to grab, or a mouth to bite, is much less of a threat. And as Michonne has figured out, they can then be used by the living to become 'invisible' to other walkers.
Agree that Michonne risked getting shot by not calling out to Rick & Carl. I just assumed that her mental state at that point got in the way of clear thinking.
I thought it was interesting that it took seeing the look-alike walker in her herd to help Michonne snap out of her malaise and give her purpose again. Same thing happened to Rick when he encountered Morgan for the 2nd time. I think, at that moment, they both realized how very much different their own fates could've been.
It was said that in the coming episodes, the 'rats-at-the-fence' and the radio transmission will be explained.
