Prophets in Scripture were able to perform miracles to validate their own position. If Mary was who the Catholics say she was, wouldn't she be able to perform miracles to validate it

Well, we don't say she was God, so I dunno how that follows. Plus, all the prophets were clear that it was God working through them, not them doing it themselves.

(And I don't mean giving birth to God incarnate, that was not something she stood up and did, but was placed on her by God.)

Again, just like the Prophets...it was not her that was doing it but God doing it through her. But I wouldn't take Mary's will out of the equation either: remember..."Let it be done to me according to thy word." That's an assent, however you slice it. She could have said "no" as Jonah once did.
