Sorry if this has been explored already, but can the micro not supply enough current to drive the LED directly - via a resistor? Maybe a low current (2mA) LED?
Yes, it matters. Your first schematic was the correct one. The only caveat is that the current drawn by the LED is not enough to turn on the relay (should not be a problem).
