2. Most likely your email address was forged into the original spam's FROM header.

(Obviously the spammer is not going to put his own email address in there.)

The receiving system sent the "delayed delivery" message to whatever address was in the "from" header. Just delete it and move on.

3. Email hacked?

Not sure but perhaps your email account was hacked. Check your "sent" emails and change your password.
