Answers:
Yes, it most likely is a mucocele, especially since it's clear. A mucocele should go away by itself after time. It is basically a swelling caused by saliva that is trapped within a blocked salivary gland. There's more info here on wikipedia as well as a picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/mucocele...
It is not a serious condition at all.
