Let vectors $\overrightarrow{a} = (3,2)$, $\overrightarrow{b} = (-1,2)$, $\overrightarrow{c} = (4,1)$.  
(1) Find real numbers $m$ and $n$ such that $\overrightarrow{a} = m\overrightarrow{b} + n\overrightarrow{c}$.  
(2) If $(\overrightarrow{a} + k\overrightarrow{c})$ is parallel to $(2\overrightarrow{b} - \overrightarrow{a})$, find the real number $k$.
