The Fall of Ming could be partly blamed on their attempt to help Korea from Japan though, so I guess, there will be no Qing Dynasty as we knew them?
 
What if Toyotomi Hideyoshi never ordered his invasions of Korea? How would things change?

It depends on the why, which with the whole Korean invasion is complicated. If Hideyoshi did it for some kind of power play, have Hideyoshi's earlier biological children live, but everything up to and after Honnoji still happens to allow Hideyoshi the chance to rise to power, but be able to consolidate through his successors, then he might not feel compelled to do something so foolish like the Imjin War. You are going to see japan like the Tokugawa at least with a rigid class system, how it deals with the outside world is anybody's guess, I do not believe there is a strick one clan one castle system so that could lead to some problems.

Depends on who's histories you read.

What histories say Korea invaded Japan? There's a common theory that ethnic Japanese migrated from Korea, but that would have been before there would have been distinct entitities we could identify as "Korea" or "Japan". The Mongols command invaded Japan and employed Korean vassals, but it was the Mongols' decision.

Ōei Invasion/Gihei Eastern Expedition? King Sejong the Great sent troops to Tsushima to clear out Wokou pirates and lay claim to the island, but Joseon ultimately withdrew after obtaining tributary status tribute from the ruling Sou clan.

EDIT: Fixed
