The first part seems legit by the actual wording of the card, but I'd be interested to hear what the official intent was.

The second part is not valid. When something instructs you to DRAW a card, it is always from the deck, not the discards. If you can (or are required to) take a card from the discards, it will be stated explicitly. The "face up" portion of that instruction simply means you have to show everybody what you drew.

You might point out to him that his reasoning would allow somebody to "draw" from the discards any time they had a helper and won a combat. That's clearly not intended, or the Cleric's Resurrection power would make no sense.
