QIs this series set before or after The Avengers (2012)?

QDid Agent Coulson die or did Agent Fury just give the Avengers something to avenge?
AIn the series premiere we are told that Coulson was dead for eight second and that they managed to save him. Fury decided to keep his survival a secret from the Avengers in order to help give them something to fight for. Coulson then spent several months recuperating in Tahiti.Later in the season we learn that this was a lie. Coulson was dead for an extended period of time. Fury ordered an experimental treatment be used to bring Coulson back. However, fearing Coulson's reaction they implanted him with false memories.
QWhy isn't there any mention of mutants in the show?
AAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D. takes place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) with such films as Iron Man, Captain America: The First Avenger, The Incredible Hulk and The Avengers. The screen rights to the X-Men and related intellectual properties (as well as the term 'mutant') are held by Fox and so these movies, and the TV show, can't make reference to them.
