Yes, Mycroft is too clever not to be involved (and I have a feeling he actually KNOWS that Sherlock's still alive at the very least). But I just remember how much Sherlock dislikes Mycroft and I don't think Sherlock would've chosen Mycroft first to be his ally in all of this. My pet theory says it's Molly who's his primary helper while Mycroft quietly supports their plan in the background. I don't buy that expression of sadness (it's more like blankness) of him sitting in the Diogenes Club.
But you got me thinking about the possibility of his telling Moriarty all those things about Sherlock being intentional. It's like Mycroft knew the game was going to get dangerous, Moriarty has to be eliminated and what better way to eliminate him than let his genius brother take care of the problem? (Then again, if Moriarty comes back alive in series 3, this whole theory could be wrong.) But this is definitely plausible, something to seriously consider.
