Help on Best Passes for Osaka, Kyoto and Nara.

Hi there, I need help on which passes work best for us. We will be in Kansai Region on April 10-14, 2015. I'm thinking of getting the ICOCA and HARUKA pass and just load the ICOCA card with another 1.5-2K yen. May I know whether the ICOCA card may be used for JR Special Rapid Service? Also, is the HARUKA card good from Kansai Airport until our destination station, which is Shinfukae at Sennichimae Line? or is it just until a certain station? Our tentative itinerary is:

Day 1: Kansai Airport to Shinfukae then go around Osaka attractions
Day 2: Kyoto
Day 3: Nara and other Osaka Attractions
Day 4: USJ
Day 5: Home bound-Shinfukae to Kansai Airport.

I'm also thinking of including Kobe in the itinerary but I'm not sure if I can fit in Kobe and Nara in 1 day.

Anyone who can help, please reply here :) Thank you
