You are right on definitions.
SECTION 21 FUMBLE
A fumble is the accidental loss of player control when the ball unintentionally drops or slips from a playerÂ’s grasp.
No rulebook definition of muff, but it seems like the same thing to me.
Bob, I don't think that a fumble or muff is an interrrupted dribble. A fumble that gets away from the dribbler could have all of the same rules aplied to it, with the exception that a fumble on a dribble pick-up cannot be followed by more dribbling. And I think a muff is a failure to catch a ball cleanly, although there is no basis for my opinion!
