It would depend on the type of goggles. Passive goggles amplify existing light so whatever light there is would also be reflected in the mirror.
Active goggles project infrared and produce an image from the light reflected back. I do not believe that infrared would reflect off a mirror, so you would not see your image in the mirror just a black spot.
There are goggles that combine both of these technologies.

Depends on whether you're using passive or active goggles. If you're using passive you would still see some kind of relfection because they just amplify the very small amount of light that is still present. If you're using active goggles you would see a bright, blank surface. This is because active night vision goggles send out infrared light and produce an image from the light reflected back. The mirror would reflect all the infrared so you would just see a bright, green, rectangle (or whatever shape the mirror was).

Depends on the type of night vision goggles. Some only amplify available light, so if it completely dark, you will see nothing. Some use light not visible to the human eye, shines it in the direction the scope is looking in, and is able to convert the reflected light intosomething humans can see. But then, it would not be completely dark.

The infrared light works almost the same way as red light. If you looked at yourself in the mirror, you would see a really bright light. That light is due to the LEDs in the night-vision goggles that emit infrared light.

they reflect the light from the night vision goggles

It'll still work. Night vision works on the amplification of available light no matter how imperceptible it might be to you personally. The physics of it are still in place. Don't forget numerous species of insects hunt at night along the same lines.

You'll be able to see it because the night goggles pick up the tiny bits of light that we can't see.
