It won't be voltage drop. Just EMI, maybe RFI. Just move them apart a
little more, or don't try to read the computer screen while cooking:-)

I doubt that it's doing any damage; however, the screening on the
microwave is probably not much good. Hopefully nobody wears a
pacemaker in that house.

A new microwave would be far cheaper than an (unnecessary in this
case) UPS.
