Talk to you Doctor before you commit to this.
I'm a triathlete and currently in training. 3 months is plenty of time for the distance you're looking at. I don't think the swim will be 2 miles. A half Ironman isn't even a two mile swim and a full Ironman is a 2.4 mile swim. I'd imagine your swim to be more like 300-400 yards.
A Super Sprint triathlon is typically a 300y swim, 8 mile bike, 2 mile run.
A Sprint triathlon is 300-600 yards, 12-24 mile bike and a 3.1 run.
An Olympic distance triathlon is .93 mile swim, 25 mile bike and a 6.2 run.
A Half IronMan is a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and a 13.1 mile run.
A Full IronMan is a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and a 26.2 mile run.

Running is the biggest priority for me, followed by swimming, and biking last (I’m fairly certain I could bike 10 miles even at my current fitness level.) My main concern is overdoing it and being set back by migraines or a minor but painful injury. Tips and encouragement would be appreciated!

Your biggest priority needs to be your weakest area. I would imagine that to be swimming. (It's most people's weakest area) My advice is to spend as much time in the open water practicing as you can.
